Bobcats trade Chandler to Mavericks in five-player deal

Basketball Betting Lines

07/13/2010 - Charlotte, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Charlotte Bobcats traded center Tyson Chandler to the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday in a five-player trade.

Along with Chandler, the Mavericks acquired center Alexis Ajinca, while the Bobcats received center Erick Dampier, shooting guard Matt Carroll, forward Eduardo Najera and cash considerations.

"Our main goal this offseason was finding a way to reshape this roster and continue the momentum we have established," Bobcats general manager Rod Higgins said. "While it's always difficult to give up key pieces of your team, we believe this deal will give financial flexibility and the ability to improve our team at the same time."

Chandler spent last season with the Bobcats, who acquired him from New Orleans in July 2009 in exchange for Emeka Okafor. In 51 games in 2009-10, Chandler averaged 6.5 points and 6.3 rebounds.

Chandler entered the league after being selected with the second overall pick of the 2001 draft. In 588 career games with the Bulls, Hornets and Bobcats, the 27-year-old has averaged 8.1 points, 8.8 boards and 1.4 blocks.

Ajinca, the 20th overall selection of the 2008 draft, averaged 2.2 points and 0.9 rebounds in 37 games over two seasons.

Dampier, who will turn 35 years old Wednesday, had spent the last six seasons with Dallas, and in 2009-10 averaged 6.0 points and 7.3 rebounds in 55 games. Over 921 career contests with Indiana, Golden State and Dallas, Dampier has posted averages of 7.8 points, 7.4 boards and 1.5 blocks.

Carroll returns to the Bobcats, who traded him to the Mavericks in January 2009 after he signed with the team in February 2005. He has averaged 7.5 points in 351 career games with Portland, San Antonio, Charlotte and Dallas.

Najera owns career averages of 5.2 points and 3.9 boards in 566 games with Dallas, Denver, Golden State and New Jersey.

Pro Football Odds : NFC SOUTH BETTING ODDS

NFL Sports Betting

NFL betting action is back! At MySportsbook, all of the pro football odds are posted for the NFC North. Check out how we see the four teams in this cloudy division stacking up this year in the chase for the playoffs! Green Bay Packers (+125) - With QB Aaron Rodgers leading the offense and DC Dom Capers working his magic on defense, the Packers are a real force to be reckoned with.

Virtually nothing changed on this offense for Green Bay from last year to this year, save for the addition of rookie OT Brian Bulaga to the bunch. Expect more huge numbers from the Pack, and a relatively favorable schedule should get them over the hump and into the playoffs once again this season. My NFL Betting Predictions: 11-5, 1st place in NFC North Minnesota Vikings (+130) - There are still too many unknowns about the Vikes this year. There is a huge difference between QB Brett Favre and either Tarvaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels under center. Plus, is Favre comes back, is he really going to be able to keep his pick total under double digits again? Depth at running back looked like it might have been an issue with RB Chester Taylor fleeing in free agency, but drafting RB Toby Gerhart should pick up the difference. This defense is still suitable, but with a first place schedule, making the playoffs is going to be very tough regardless of whether #4 comes back or not.

Play this weekly NFL Football Contestto see if you can win.

Chicago Bears (+350) - The Bears are probably a bit of an overhyped team once again this year.No, we don't think it is plausible for QB Jay Cutler to have as bad of a season as he did last year, and we do think the additions of RB Chester Taylor and DE Julius Peppers are going to help immensely, but there's still something in the water in the Windy City that we aren't so sure about. Maybe Chicago finds its way to .500... but then again, maybe it doesn't. If Favre comes back, Cutler might be the worst quarterback in this division this year.

Detroit Lions (+1500) - The Lions are probably once again going to be the whipping boys for the rest of the teams in the NFC North, but they aren't just going to roll over and die once again. There is some real talent amassing on this team offensively, as the combination of QB Matt Stafford, RB Jahvid Best, WR Calvin Johnson, and TE Brandon Pettigrew should put a bunch of points on the board if the offensive line can even remotely hold up. The questions really lie on defense, where it feels like DT Ndamukong Suh is going to be trying to stop opposing teams all by himself. This year should show some marked improvement in the Motor City.

The Patriots will make NFL betting fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
