Report: Nets agree to trade Carter
Basketball Betting Lines
06/25/2009 - Newark, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The New Jersey Nets have reportedly agreed to ship star forward Vince Carter to the Orlando Magic.
The Newark Star-Ledger reported on Thursday that New Jersey has agreed in principle to deal Carter for guards Rafer Alston and Courtney Lee along with forward Tony Battie.
The deal will apparently allow the Nets to clear almost $18 million of cap space for the 2010-11 season and ships the 32-year-old North Carolina product back to his home state of Florida.
In addition, a separate deal will send swingman Ryan Anderson to Orlando for the Magic's trade exception.
Carter spent almost five years with the Nets, after coming over in a blockbuster deal from Toronto early in the 2004-05 season.
He averaged 20.8 points, 5.1 rebounds and 4.7 assists in 80 games last season for New Jersey, and has racked up 23.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game over 777 contests since beginning his NBA career with the Raptors in 1998.
Alston came to the Magic from Houston late last season and combined for 12.0 points and 5.1 assists in 77 games split between Orlando and the Rockets.
Battie finished his fourth season with Orlando with 4.8 points and 3.6 rebounds per contest in 77 games.
Lee, the Magic's 22nd-overall pick in 2008 out of Western Kentucky, completed his rookie season with 8.4 points and 2.3 rebounds per game in 77 contests.
Both Alston and Battie are in the final years of their contracts, and are set to make $5.25 million and $6.2 million, respectively. Carter is due to bring in $16.1 million for the upcoming season and $17.5 million for 2010-11.

Super Bowl XLIII Betting - Super Bowl 2009
Super Bowl 2009, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.Let’s take a look at the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds and the betting line and figure out where they’ve been and where they are going to go.
MySportsbook.com put up the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds late on Sunday night with the Pittsburgh Steelers favored by 6.5 points and a total betting line at 47.5 points.
Since then, however, the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds have seen a good deal of movement and you’ll want to be on top of where they are likely to move to make sure you get the best line value for the big game.
Since opening, the Super Bowl 2009 betting lines went to Steelers -7 in the span of roughly 3 hours but were quickly bought back down just minutes later to 6.5 again.
After that is took about 5-6 more hours before the betting line went back to -7 where it has sat for a while now and is likely to remain. The opening betting total of 47.5 was bet down right after the line became available and went to 47 within minutes.
Roughly a day later it has been bet even further down to the 46.5 tally it currently is set at.
Roughly 60% of gamblers seem to be on the Cardinals here so the point spread will be bet down and a 7.5 would not last very long at all with many taking the early 6.5 in hopes of finding a potential middle in the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds.
If you like Arizona and see a 7.5, I’d take it as soon as possible because it’s unlikely to last. For Pittsburgh backers, the -7 might be the best you’ll be able to find but a 6.5 is definitely possible close to game time.
Regarding the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds for the total, most tracked gamblers are already on the over and with those who took the under 47.5 already securing a middle on the over 46.5, the only way I see it moving is back up to 47 so if you like the over, I’d recommend betting now.
