Cavs deal West, Telfair to T'Wolves for Sessions, HollinsBasketball Betting Lines07/26/2010 - Minneapolis, MN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Cleveland Cavaliers have traded guards Delonte West and Sebastian Telfair to the Minnesota Timberwolves for guard Ramon Sessions, center Ryan Hollins and a 2013 second-round draft pick. West averaged 8.8 points on 44.5-percent shooting in 60 games (three starts) during the 2009-10 season. The deal brings Telfair back to Minnesota, the team he played for from 2007-08, when he averaged 9.3 and 9.8 points, respectively, a season. Telfair, was acquired by the Cavaliers on Feb. 17, 2010 from the Los Angeles Clippers in a three-team trade. "I want to thank Ramon and Ryan for their time with us last season," said David Kahn, Timberwolves president of basketball operations. "With the arrivals of Luke Ridnour, Michael Beasley, Nikola Pekovic and the signing of Darko Milicic, it was clear that Ramon and Ryan would have lesser roles this season if they were to remain. This move provides them a better opportunity in Cleveland and adds to our flexibility both this season and beyond in relation to the salary cap." The 24-year-old Sessions played in all 82 games during the 2009-10 season, averaging 8.2 points on a career-high 45.6 percent shooting. He was a second- round draft pick of Milwaukee in 2007 and spent his first two seasons playing for the Bucks before being signed as a free agent with the Timberwolves. The 25-year-old Hollins set career bests in nearly every statistical category last season. The 7-foot center averaged 6.1 points on 55.8 percent shooting along with 2.8 rebounds. "In Ramon, we're excited to add a young, multi-dimensional guard, and with Ryan, we're adding a young, athletic center," Cavs general manager Chris Grant said. "We think both Ramon and Ryan are really good fits for this team. We're also happy to add another asset for the future with the additional draft pick. At the same time, we'd like to thank Sebastian and Delonte and wish them well in the future."

Football Betting LinesThe 2009 AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds have been released and Denver Broncos' running back Knowshon Moreno has been made the opening favorite. Moreno was selected in the first round of April's NFL draft and is expected to carry the rushing load for the Broncos this season. And with Jay Cutler now in Chicago, Moreno might be expected to be Denver's entire offense. Betting Lines from sports betting lines have made Moreno a 5/2 favorite to win this year's Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. Fellow running back Chris “Beanie” Wells (Arizona Cardinals) is right behind Moreno at 7/2, while Donald Brown (Indianapolis Colts) and receiver Michael Crabtree (San Francisco 49ers) are 5/1 to win. Quarterbacks Mark Sanchez (New York Jets) and Matthew Stafford (Detroit Lions) are 7/1 and 8/1, respectively. A couple of players who present some value are Josh Freeman, Shonn Green and Darrius Heyward-Bey. Freeman needs to beat out Byron Leftwich to become the starting quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but if he does, he has a lot or raw talent and could use the weapons around him (i.e. Kellen Winslow Jr. and Antonio Bryant) to be very successful in his first season. Green enters a crowded backfield in New York, but considering both Thomas Jones and Leon Washington are unhappy about their contract situations and might holdout, the former Iowa product could become the Jets' primary back. Everyone was shocked when Al Davis took Heyward-Bey with the eighth overall pick in April's draft, but the kid has a tremendous amount of talent and if quarterback JaMarcus Russell takes the next step this year, the former Maryland product could blossom. Plus, Heyward-Bey will be looking to prove the people wrong who said Oakland should have taken Michael Crabtree with the No. 8 pick. And if you're looking for a deep sleeper, check out Pat White at 30/1. He enters the Miami Dolphins vaunted “Wild Cat” offense and could be a big time playmaker.
