Basketball Betting Lines
07/14/2010 -
Cleveland, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Cleveland Cavaliers have made their first
move of the post-LeBron James era, signing restricted free-agent guard Kyle
Lowry to an offer sheet.
Terms of the contract were not disclosed, but the Cleveland Plain Dealer
reports the pact is for three years with a team option for a fourth that
could bump the deal's value to $24 million.
Lowry averaged 9.1 points, 4.5 assists and 3.6 rebounds over 68 games last
season for the Houston Rockets, who will have seven days to match Cleveland's
offer.
The 24-year-old was originally selected by Memphis with the 24th overall pick
in the 2006 draft out of Villanova. He was part of a three-team trade during
the 2008-09 season that landed him in Houston.
In 237 career games between the two teams, including 30 starts, Lowry has
posted averages of 8.7 points, 3.8 assists and 3.0 rebounds while seeing time
in 23.6 minutes per contest.
