Timberwolves make Ridnour signing official
Basketball Betting Lines
07/21/2010 -
Minneapolis, MN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Minnesota Timberwolves officially
announced the signing of guard Luke Ridnour on Wednesday.
According to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Ridnour agreed to a four-year deal
worth close to $16 million last week.
"Luke's talent and experience will be helpful to our team this season and
beyond," said David Kahn, the team's president of basketball operations. "He
will compete for the starting point guard position this season, but no matter
what role Luke is playing, we believe he'll have a positive influence with our
young backcourt, much as he demonstrated last season in Milwaukee."
Ridnour, a seven-year NBA veteran, averaged 10.4 points and 4.0 assists over a
full 82-game schedule for Milwaukee last season. He averaged 21.5 minutes per
game off the bench after starting 50 games for the Bucks a year earlier.
Since being drafted 14th overall out of Oregon in 2003 by Seattle, the 29-
year-old has appeared in 516 games for the Sonics and Bucks and averages 9.4
points and 4.8 assists.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds
With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.
Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season. Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money.
This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy. A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.

Brady Quinn (QB, Notre Dame)
Adrian Peterson (RB, Oklahoma)
