08/24/2010 - Charlotte, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Charlotte Bobcats made it official on Tuesday by signing free agent center Kwame Brown, which reunites the former No. 1 pick and new team owner Michael Jordan.
Terms of the contract were not disclosed, per club policy.
"Kwame is a defensive-minded veteran who will add depth to our frontcourt rotation," said Bobcats General Manager Rod Higgins. "At age 28, he has the size, strength and experience to be a solid contributor for this team."
The Charlotte Observer previously reported the deal is for one year and worth $1.3 million. Jordan, then part owner and president of basketball operations for the Washington Wizards, made Brown the No. 1 pick in 2001 as the first high school player ever taken with the first selection.
Brown's career quickly spiraled into disappointment with the 10th-year pro never topping a 10.9-point and 7.4-rebound output in 2003-04. He went on to play for the Lakers and Grizzlies after four mediocre years in Washington and is coming off a two-year stint with the Pistons.
The 6-foot-11 center averaged 3.3 points and 3.7 rebounds over 48 games last season, almost primarily as a reserve. He started 30 of 58 games for Detroit a year earlier, but managed only 4.2 points and 5.0 boards.
In 510 career games, including 217 starts, Brown has posted 6.7 points and 5.4 rebounds per game.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
