Report: Suns close to acquiring Turkoglu, Childress

Basketball Betting Lines

07/12/2010 - Phoenix, AZ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Phoenix Suns are reportedly close to replacing Amare Stoudemire with a combination of Hedo Turkoglu and Josh Childress, according to The Arizona Republic.

The report states that the Suns would send guard Leandro Barbosa to Toronto for Turkoglu, who has wanted to leave the Raptors after one season with the club.

Turkoglu signed a long-term contract with Toronto last season as a free agent after backing out of a deal with Portland. In 74 games last season, he struggled to per-game averages of just 11.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4.1 assists. The point total is his lowest since 2003-04 when he played for Sacramento.

The 31-year-old spent five seasons with Orlando prior to his signing with Toronto and helped to lead the Magic to an Eastern Conference title in 2009 after averaging 16.8 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.9 assists in 77 regular season games.

Additionally, Phoenix may acquire Childress in a sign-and-trade after Childress spent the last two seasons with Olympiakos in Greece. The report states he has agreed to a five-year, $30 million deal with the Suns, although the Hawks have the right of first refusal since Childress is a restricted free agent.

It is believed that the Suns will send the Hawks a second-round pick.

Stoudemire left the team via free agency when he signed a massive deal with the New York Knicks. He leaves an enormous void up front after averaging 22.2 points and 6.6 rebounds last year for Phoenix, which finished as the runner-up in the Western Conference to the Lakers.

Barbosa, meanwhile, has spent his entire seven-year career in Phoenix and averaged 9.5 points last season in 44 games. The per-game point average was his lowest since 2004-05.

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect

LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet.

Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots.

Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4.
