Cho named new Blazers general managerBasketball Betting Lines07/19/2010 - Portland, OR (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Portland Trail Blazers have named Rich Cho as the team's new general manager. No financial terms of the deal were announced. Cho had spent the past nine seasons as assistant GM of the Seattle SuperSonics/Oklahoma City Thunder and was responsible for constructing trades, contract negotiations, salary cap and Collective Bargaining Agreement matters, player contracts and all player personnel issues. "Rich Cho joins us as one of the new generation of general managers in the NBA," said team owner Paul Allen. "We were all impressed with the depth and breadth of his skill-set and we know his leadership will be critical to make our great organization even more successful." The 44-year-old Cho was initially an intern with Seattle before becoming a part-time consultant in 1997. Later that year, he was brought on as the team's director of basketball affairs and held the position for three years until his promotion to assistant GM. He also served as vice president of legal affairs for the Sonics from 2005-07 and was charged with the legal work involved with sponsorship agreements, licensing issues, immigration issues and employment contracts. "Rich is the perfect fit for our organization," said team president Larry Miller. "He has the right balance of basketball knowledge, business acumen and tremendous people skills. Rich will be a great fit for our organization and is an executive on the rise." Cho,who grew up in Federal Way, Washington and graduated from Washington State University, said he is thrilled to be joining the Blazers. "As someone who grew up in the northwest, I'm aware of the unbelievable passion and support that Trail Blazers fans have, and I'm excited to be a part of this rich tradition." Portland finished sixth in the Western Conference last season with a 50-32 mark and fell to the Phoenix Suns in the first round of the playoffs.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans. Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich. The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
