Ilgauskas joins new-look Heat
Basketball Betting Lines
07/17/2010 -
Miami, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Center Zydrunas Ilgauskas has officially
joined former Cavaliers teammate LeBron James in Miami.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but the Plain Dealer of Cleveland
reported earlier in the week that Ilgauskas agreed to the veteran minimum of
$1.3 million.
"As we continue to shape our roster, we have filled a key position with the
addition of Zydrunas," said Heat president Pat Riley. "He is a two-time All-
Star, a proven rebounder, and a great shot blocker. His place in NBA history
is already clear, and we are pleased to be able to add a seasoned veteran of
his caliber to our roster."
Ilgauskas had only ever played for the Cavaliers during his career. Cleveland
selected the 7-foot-3 Ilgauskas with the 20th overall pick of the 1996 draft,
but he did not make his debut until the 1997-98 season.
Ilgauskas went on to become the franchise's all-time leader in games played
(771), offensive rebounds (2,336) and total rebounds (5,904). The 35-year-old
averaged 13.8 points and 5.4 rebounds in his Cavaliers career, earning All-
Star selections in 2003 and 2005.
The Cavaliers traded Ilgauskas to Washington this past February in the deal
that sent Antawn Jamison to Cleveland. However, Ilgauskas never played for the
Wizards after reaching a mutual agreement on a contract buyout, and returned
to the Cavaliers in March.
He averaged a career-low 7.4 points and 5.4 boards in 64 games in 2009-10,
when he primarily came off the bench in order for Shaquille O'Neal to start.

Super Bowl XLIV Odds
Super Bowl XLIII isn't even a week old yet and oddsmakers have already released Super Bowl XLIV odds.
Despite the Pittsburgh Steelers winning Super Bowl 43, the New England Patriots are 8/1 favorites to win Super Bowl 44.
Bet Super Bowl XLIV Future Odds
With their 27-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII, the Steelers became the latest NFL champion. But believe it or not, oddsmakers from online sports book MySportsbook.com don't have the Steelers the favorites to win Super Bowl XLIV next season.
That honor belongs to the New England Patriots, who are 8/1 favorites to win despite not even qualify for the postseason in 2008. The Pats also have a major decision to make regarding what to do with Matt Cassel, who played well in Tom Brady's (knee surgery) absence last year but is also a free agent this offseason.
Ironically, the Steelers aren't even oddsmakers second choice to win Super Bowl 44, as the Dallas Cowboys are listed right behind the Patriots at 9/1 despite not making the playoffs themselves. Clearly oddsmakers think the public will hop back on the Cowboys' bandwagon considering the immense talent they have and the opening of a brand new stadium.
After Dallas, then comes Pittsburgh at 10/1, but they share those odds with the New York Giants, who won Super Bowl XLII. The Indianapolis Colts and San Diego Chargers round out the top six teams at 12/1, while the Baltimore Ravens (14/1), Tennessee Titans (16/1), Carolina Panthers (18/1) and Philadelphia Eagles (18/1) complete the top 10.
The NFC Champion Arizona Cardinals got no love from oddsmakers as they were established as a 30/1 long shot to win next year's Super Bowl. They share those same odds with the Chicago Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers – two teams that didn't even qualify for the postseason. Other long shots are the Kansas City Chiefs (100/1), Detroit Lions (100/1), St. Louis Rams (75/1) and Oakland Raiders (75/1).
To see a complete list of all the team's odds to win Super Bowl XLIV, check below.
