Cavs' West pleads guilty to charges

Basketball Betting Lines

07/15/2010 - Washington, DC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Cleveland Cavaliers guard Delonte West pled guilty to weapons and traffic charges stemming from his arrest last September, according to a report in the Washington Post.

The judge in Prince George's County Circuit Court sentenced West to eight months of electronic monitoring and home detention, two years of probation, 40 hours of community service and psychological counseling. He will be allowed to attend practices, home games and away games, the paper said.

West was indicted on two counts of carrying a dangerous weapon, two counts of carrying a handgun, two counts of transporting a handgun, one count of reckless driving and one count of negligent driving.

West, 26, faced up to three years in jail for each weapons charge and a $2,500 fine per offense.

In September, he was arrested following a traffic stop on his motorcycle for allegedly carrying a 8.5-inch Bowie-style knife, a 9mm Beretta, a Ruger .357 and a shotgun inside a guitar case that was hanging on his back.

During the 2008-09 season, West left the Cavaliers during training camp to be treated for what he later said was bipolar disorder, according to The Cleveland Plain Dealer at the time.

The St. Joseph's product, a six-year pro, missed the first three games of the 2009-10 season before returning and averaging 8.8 points and 3.3 assists in 60 regular season games for the club.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds

With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.

Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season.  Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money. 

This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy.  A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.
