Raiders dump ex-starters Lawton, Morris, Richardson on cut day

Football Betting Lines

09/04/2010 - Alameda, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Fullback Luke Lawton, center Chris Morris and defensive end Jay Richardson were among the prominent players released by the Oakland Raiders on Saturday, as the team reduced its roster to the NFL-mandated maximum of 53 players.

Lawton appeared in 29 games as a member of the Raiders over the past two seasons, catching 13 passes and serving as a blocker for running backs Michael Bush, Darren McFadden and ex-Raider Justin Fargas, but had fallen behind Marcel Reese on the depth chart and was set to begin the year serving a suspension related to the use of a banned substance.

Morris appeared in 47 games with Oakland from 2006-09, making 10 starts last season, but was victimized by enhanced depth among Raiders offensive linemen.

Richardson was placed on the chopping block after appearing in all 48 of the Raiders' games over the past three seasons. A 2007 fifth-round pick out of Ohio State, Richardson started 22 games at end over his first two campaigns but was used exclusively as a backup last season.

Also released were wide receiver Shaun Bodiford, safety Jerome Boyd, quarterback Colt Brennan, safety Stevie Brown, defensive tackle Chris Cooper, defensive end Alex Daniels, defensive end Greyson Gunheim, defensive end Kellen Heard, defensive tackle William Joseph, linebacker David Nixon, linebacker Slade Norris, tight end John Owens, guard Alex Parsons, cornerback Joe Porter, guard Brandon Rodd, cornerback Joey Thomas, fullback Manase Tonga, punter Swayze Waters and wide receiver Todd Watkins.

The Raiders will begin the regular season next Sunday, when they travel to meet the Tennessee Titans.

MySportsbook.com: NBA Championship Odds

With the playoffs about two months away, the top two teams in the Western Conference are the clear cut leaders to win the NBA Championship. The Dallas Mavericks have the best record in the NBA (44-9) and have been absolutely scorching since the second week of the season.  What makes the Mavs’ record more impressive is the fact that they dropped their first four games of the season.  Currently they have won 17 out of their last 18 and are MySportsbook.com’s favorite (2-1) to win it all.  Right behind the Mavs are the Pacific leading Phoenix Suns (39-13).  Last season, the Suns lost in the Conference Finals to non-other then the Mavericks four games to two.  Of course the Suns were without center Amare Stoudemire who has is averaging 19.9 PPG and 9.5 RPG since coming back from his knee injury.  Unlike the Mavs, the Suns have struggled a bit lately having lost their last three and four out of their last seven.  Of course the main reason for their three straight loses is due to the absence of two time MVP Steve Nash, who is out with a shoulder injury.  Heads-up, the Mavs have beaten the Suns in both of their meetings this season.

In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons (32-19) are the favorites to win it all at 6-1. The addition of Chris Webber seems to have been a good move for the Pistons.  Since coming over from the 76ers, Webber has averaged 13.1 PPG and 7.3 RPG and the Pistons are 11-4.  Even though the defending champion Heat are currently on the playoff making cusp, they are the Eastern Conference team that is getting the most action to win it all (9-1).  The fact that Shaquille O’Neal is back in the starting lineup after missing 39 games probably has something to do with this.  No doubt, Shaq makes a difference when in the lineup as their winning six out of their last seven would indicate.

Just because it is the All-Star break doesn’t mean that you can’t bet on NBA hoops this weekend.  Be sure to log onto MySportsbook.com to bet on who you think will cut down the nets this July.
