Suns reportedly set to add Babby to front office
Basketball Betting Lines
07/19/2010 -
Phoenix, AZ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Phoenix Suns have called a news
conference for Tuesday morning, when it is expected Lon Babby will be named
president of basketball operations.
Phoenix indicated only that a "major announcement" would be made Tuesday, but
multiple media outlets have reported it is to name Babby as the successor to
Steve Kerr, whose contract was not renewed and has since re-joined TNT as a
game analyst.
The Arizona Republic reported the organization is still likely to hire a new
general manager. Kerr wore both hats during his tenure with the club, first
joining the Suns as part-owner and consultant in 2004 before taking the reins
as president and general manager in June 2007.
Babby would follow a seldom-followed path to the front office, having served
as a player agent and practiced sports law for more than 30 years with
Williams & Connolly LLP. Most notably, Babby represents Suns forward Grant
Hill, the Spurs' Tim Duncan and Celtics guard Ray Allen.
Babby also represents numerous professional baseball players and has served as
club counsel, then general counsel for the Washington Redskins (1977-1980) and
Baltimore Orioles (1979-1994). In addition, he is a member of the Board of
Trustees of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.

Stanley Cup betting
New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.
The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.
MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.
Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
