Grant Hill to return to Suns next season

Basketball Betting Lines

06/08/2010 - Phoenix, AZ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Grant Hill will return to the Phoenix Suns for next season after exercising the one-year player option on his contract.

Hill, who will turn 38 in October, will play in his 16th NBA season. The seven-time All-Star forward is coming off a 2009-10 regular season in which he averaged 11.3 points and 5.5 rebounds, his highest rebounding average since 2002-03 and his most total rebounds (445) in a single season since 1999-00.

"We're thrilled that Grant has decided to exercise his option and return to the Suns next season," said Suns general manager Steve Kerr. "He is a critical part of our success, both because of his skill as a player and also his leadership and professionalism that help guide our team. Grant sums up what the Phoenix Suns are all about."

Hill has spent the last three seasons in a Suns uniform and has missed just one regular season contest the last two campaigns.

"The decision to stay in Phoenix was easy," said Hill. "Our team's success on the court last season was the result of the efforts of a great group of guys and I'm looking forward to building on that with them and being a part of this team next season."

While Hill will stay with the Suns, that may not be the case for 6-foot-10 Amar'e Stoudemire, who reportedly said Tuesday there is "no chance" that he will play for his $17.7 million contract option next season. Instead, he's seeking a long-term deal to remain with the team, or will likely explore free agency.

Super Bowl XLIV Odds

Super Bowl XLIII isn't even a week old yet and oddsmakers have already released Super Bowl XLIV odds.

Despite the Pittsburgh Steelers winning Super Bowl 43, the New England Patriots are 8/1 favorites to win Super Bowl 44.

Bet Super Bowl XLIV Future Odds

With their 27-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII, the Steelers became the latest NFL champion. But believe it or not, oddsmakers from online sports book MySportsbook.com don't have the Steelers the favorites to win Super Bowl XLIV next season.

That honor belongs to the New England Patriots, who are 8/1 favorites to win despite not even qualify for the postseason in 2008. The Pats also have a major decision to make regarding what to do with Matt Cassel, who played well in Tom Brady's (knee surgery) absence last year but is also a free agent this offseason.

Ironically, the Steelers aren't even oddsmakers second choice to win Super Bowl 44, as the Dallas Cowboys are listed right behind the Patriots at 9/1 despite not making the playoffs themselves. Clearly oddsmakers think the public will hop back on the Cowboys' bandwagon considering the immense talent they have and the opening of a brand new stadium.

After Dallas, then comes Pittsburgh at 10/1, but they share those odds with the New York Giants, who won Super Bowl XLII. The Indianapolis Colts and San Diego Chargers round out the top six teams at 12/1, while the Baltimore Ravens (14/1), Tennessee Titans (16/1), Carolina Panthers (18/1) and Philadelphia Eagles (18/1) complete the top 10.

The NFC Champion Arizona Cardinals got no love from oddsmakers as they were established as a 30/1 long shot to win next year's Super Bowl. They share those same odds with the Chicago Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers – two teams that didn't even qualify for the postseason. Other long shots are the Kansas City Chiefs (100/1), Detroit Lions (100/1), St. Louis Rams (75/1) and Oakland Raiders (75/1).
