08/16/2010 - Auburn Hills, MI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Detroit Pistons announced the signing of veteran swingman Tracy McGrady to a one-year contract Monday.
According to the Detroit Free Press, McGrady will play for the league minimum of $1.35 million for a veteran with 10 or more years of service.
McGrady appeared in a combined 30 games last season for Houston and New York. He had limited playing time in six games with the Rockets after recovering from microfracture knee surgery and was dealt to the Knicks. In 24 games for New York, he averaged 9.4 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.9 assists.
"I wanted to play basketball," McGrady was quoted as saying on the Pistons' website. "That's what I told (team president Joe Dumars). I wanted to play basketball. If anybody knows me, I don't show a lot of emotion, but I have a chip on my shoulder. I carry things in the back of my mind. That's what really motivates me."
The 31-year-old went to the NBA directly out of high school and was selected by Toronto with the ninth overall pick of the 1997 draft. He's also played for Orlando in his 13-year career and owns career averages of 21.5 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.7 assists.
McGrady was the NBA scoring champion in 2002-03 and 2003-04 with the Magic and averaged 24-plus points in seven consecutive seasons from 2000-07. A seven- time All-Star selection and two-time First-Team All-NBA choice, McGrady ranks 10th amongst active players in career points and has played in 38 career playoff games, averaging 28.5 points, 6.9 rebounds and 6.2 assists.

It’s time to see how the biggest NFL free agent signings will perform for their news teams. Some will work out and could be the difference that makes a difference in the win column.
We look at the best off-season signings and if they should influence your NFL betting this season. Julius Peppers – Peppers was the biggest prize available on the 2010 NFL free agent market and the Chicago Bears opened the bank to bring his talents to the south side.
Peppers is explosive, he can get around blockers and cause quarterbacks to lose their minds. We all remember the classic Peppers game last year against the Vikings where he hounded Brett Favre into his worst game of the season. Peppers joining the Bears could be the reason Favre retired for good Tuesday morning. In addition to Peppers, the Bears added Chester Taylor to back up Matt Forte, Forte didn’t have the same intensity in 2009 compared to 2008 and bringing in Taylor will challenge Forte to bring it every game or he’ll risk losing carries to Taylor.
Betting on the Bears is a good option this season because of Julius Peppers and to a lesser extent Taylor. Antonio Bryant and Terrell Owens – The Cincinnati Bengals signed two former number one wide receivers to line up with Chad Ocho Cinco. Antonio Bryant had a huge season in 2008 catching 83 passes for over 1200 yards but regressed last season. Playing for the Tampa Bay Bucs last season was a large part of the regression, everyone was bad in TB last season.
Bryant should have a bounce back season if he can win the number two spot from Terrell Owens. If Bryant wins the number 2 WR spot, it will open up a completely new set of problems for the Bengals. If Owens is forced to the bench in favor of Bryant, his attitude will create trouble for Carson Palmer and head coach Marv Lewis. If Owens is the number two receiver, it means Bryant can’t live up to his past numbers and the Bengals are still limited in the passing game. NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. 2010 football betting lines for this can be found at this top online sportsbook. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense.
NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense. They signed away the Arizona Cardinals top linebacker Karlos Danby. In the past two seasons, Danby has totaled 228 tackles, 5 sacks, 3 interceptions and 3 forced fumbles. The Dolphins are the forgotten team of the AFC East with the second longest odds to win the division but with the addition of Karlos Danby and a trade for WR Brandon Marshall makes the Miami Dolphins legitimate contenders in the AFC East and in the NFL’s Eastern Conference.
The Dolphins will make NFL wagering fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
