07/16/2010 - Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Chicago Bulls have reportedly agreed to a three-year deal with guard Ronnie Brewer.
According to a report on the team's website, the Bulls made the move for Brewer after the Magic matched the team's offer sheet to J.J. Redick earlier on Friday. The Chicago Tribune reports the deal is worth $12.5 million.
If the contract is consummated as expected, Brewer will join forward Carlos Boozer and guard Kyle Korver as members of the 2009-10 Jazz who will play for the Bulls this season. Brewer was actually traded to Memphis midway through last season, but played only five games for the Grizzlies before an injury sidelined him.
In 58 games in 2009-10, Brewer averaged 8.8 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists. He averaged a career-best 13.7 points in 81 games for the Jazz in 2008-09 and has a career per-game points average of 10.3 in 271 contests.

Oddsmakers have released the odds for the 2009 AP NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award and Seattle Seahawks linebacker Aaron Curry has been made the opening favorite.
Seattle took Curry with the fourth overall pick in April's NFL draft and plan on inserting him into its starting lineup right away. The Hawks traded linebacker Julian Peterson in the offseason, so Curry is expected to have a significant role in Seattle's defense next year and that's one of the primary reasons he is the favorite to win the NFL ROY Award.
Oddsmakers from online sportsbook MySportsbook.com have made Curry a 5/1 favorite to win this year's NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award. Given that he was the best defensive prospect in this year's draft and how he'll have plenty of opportunities to make plays in '09, Curry offers a ton of value at 5/1.
Another thing working for Curry is the position he plays. A linebacker has won the defensive ROY award six straight times and eight of the last nine years. Jerod Mayo, Patrick Willis, DeMeco Ryans, Shawne Merriman, Jonathan Vilma, Terrell Suggs, Kendrell Bell and Brian Urlacher were the most recent linebackers to take home the award.
Following Curry at 5/1 are Tyson Jackson (Chiefs) at 7/1, James Laurinaitas (Rams) at 8/1, Brian Orakpo (Redskins) at 10/1, Rey Maualuga (Bengals) at 10/1 and Jerry Peria (Falcons) at 10/1.
All the players mentioned above are expected to start for their respective teams, but Jackson and Peria are going to have a tough time being recognized on a national level given they're both defensive linemen. D-linemen rarely put up the numbers that it takes to win an individual award like the ROY.
A couple of players with some value are Clay Matthews (Packers) at 12/1 and Larry English (Chargers) at 15/1. Matthews is expected to start at outside linebacker in Green Bay's new 3-4 defense and could rack up a ton of tackles. English, who was an impressive player at Northern Illinois, is expected to be a situational pass rusher for the Chargers and could rack up a ton of sacks.
