Durant officially inks extension with ThunderBasketball Betting Lines07/08/2010 - Oklahoma City, OK (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Forward Kevin Durant has officially signed a multi-year contract extension with the Oklahoma City Thunder. The deal is reportedly for five years. "Today is an exciting and important day in the growth of the Thunder organization," Thunder general manager Sam Presti said. "The mutual and substantial commitment by both Kevin and our ownership group comes by way of aligned values and vision. Kevin's consistent work ethic, humility, team-first mentality and strong community investment are just some of the reasons that today's commitments stretch beyond our franchise and throughout our community and the entire state of Oklahoma." Durant's agent, Aaron Goodwin, earlier told the Oklahoman the deal is worth close to $85 million and runs through the 2015-16 season without a player option that would have allowed for free agency after the fourth year. "I am excited to remain a part of the Thunder organization and the Oklahoma City community," said Durant. "This is a big day for my family and myself. I would like to thank God for putting me in this position, the Thunder for believing in me since I was drafted and my teammates for supporting and encouraging me everyday." Durant is the reigning NBA scoring leader after averaging 30.1 points while appearing in all 82 regular-season games in 2009-10. He set a franchise record by scoring 30-plus points on 47 occasions last season and helped lead the team to the playoffs for the first time since the 2004-05 season. Also, his 756 made free throws were a franchise-best and the most recorded in a single season since Michael Jordan connected on 833 during the 1986-87 campaign. Taken second overall by the defunct Seattle SuperSonics in the 2007 draft, Durant has averaged 25.3 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists for his career. "Kevin Durant personifies what we are building with the Oklahoma City Thunder," said Thunder chairman Clay Bennett. "His dedication to his teammates, to continually working at his game, and to this community is at the core of what we want this organization to represent. We are excited to have the opportunity to continue to watch Kevin evolve as a player and just as thrilled to have someone of his personal character on our team."

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds Will he or won't he? Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team. Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team. "I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success." Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate. Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns. But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches. Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback. It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
