Warriors ink Dorell WrightBasketball Betting Lines07/13/2010 - Oakland, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Golden State Warriors have signed free agent forward Dorell Wright to a multi-year contract. The deal is reportedly for three years and $11 million. The 24-year-old Wright appeared in a career-high 72 games last season for the Miami Heat, averaging 7.1 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists. "We're excited to add another young and athletic player to our roster who we believe will fit in very nicely on both ends of the floor," said Warriors' general manager Larry Riley. "Dorell is a natural small forward who can shoot the basketball, rebound his position and will certainly provide our team with a defensive mentality. He has continued to improve each season that he's been in the NBA and we're confident that his best basketball is ahead of him." Wright has spent each of his six NBA seasons in Miami. "I am really excited about this opportunity with the Warriors," said Wright. "I have always been a big proponent of Golden State's up-tempo style and I think that my ability to play defense with my length and athleticism will prove to be a valuable addition to the team as well."

MySportsbook.com and Kentucky Derby Offer Bonuses Well, not quite $1 million, but MySportsbook.com is offering a 75% rebate for Kentucky Derby lines. Check out the exclusive horse racing bonus for all the details. According to MySportsbook.com, the favorites for Saturday’s Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky are: Curlin (+250); Street Sense (+500); Scat Daddy (+700); Circular Quay (+750); and Nobiz Like Shobiz (+800). Derby organizers announced this week that there will be a $1-million bonus at the 2007 Kentucky Derby odds if the first-place horse wins by more than 6 1/2 lengths – the margin of Barbaro's victory last year. The bonus would be divided Saturday among the winning trainer, jockey, owner and a charity, with each receiving 25 percent. The designated charity is the Barbaro Memorial Fund. ''It's certainly creative, it's certainly fun and it has something for the horsemen, which we always want to embrace,'' Churchill Downs president and chief executive Robert Evans said at a news conference. ''What's really cool is it will force us to remember Barbaro.'' Arkansas Derby winner Curlin – unbeaten in three career races – tries to overcome both those obstacles in Saturday's 133rd Derby. ''We're not running against history,'' trainer Steve Asmussen said Monday. ''We're running against who they load up.'' Six other horses have run in the Derby without benefit of 2-year-old races and with three or fewer starts. The best any of them managed was a sixth-place finish by Showing Up last year. ”He exudes confidence and he's got a great presence about him,'' the trainer said. ''I feel great about the position we're in. He's not worried about anything, why should you be?'' For complete odds on the Kentucky Derby, visit MySportsbook.com.
