Brad Miller officially signs with Rockets
Basketball Betting Lines
07/20/2010 -
Houston, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Houston Rockets officially brought center
Brad Miller into the fold on Tuesday after signing him to a previously
reported three-year, $15 million contract.
Miller, 34, averaged 8.8 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.9 assists last year in 82
games for the Chicago Bulls.
"Obviously, it's been a long time coming," Miller said. "Ever since (head
coach) Rick (Adelman) got here, I've been wanting to come down here. He's my
favorite coach with his whole system...I'm very excited about it."
Miller was a two-time All-Star under Adelman while in Sacramento. He played
five-plus seasons for the Kings before being dealt to the Bulls late in the
2008-09 campaign in a six-player swap.
"We've been looking for somebody to give us strong minutes at the center spot
to pair with Yao Ming for some time," said Rockets general manager Daryl
Morey. "I think Brad is going to be a fan favorite."
The Purdue product originally signed with the Charlotte Hornets as a free
agent in 1998-99 and over 12 NBA seasons holds down career averages of 11.7
points, 7.5 rebounds and 2.9 assists while connecting on 48.2 percent of his
shots. He's started 592 of his 793 games played and also logged a brief stint
with Indiana.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP
With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.
This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.
There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
