Atlanta, GA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Atlanta Hawks bolstered their forward
position on Monday by signing free agent forward/center Josh Powell.
Per club policy, terms of the contract were not announced.
"I look forward to joining a franchise I'm very familiar with," said Powell.
"The Hawks have done some great things over the past few years, and I think
it's great to come back home and play here. They've enjoyed success in the
East, and while they have room to improve and grow, the nucleus is here to
make that next step."
The 6-foot-9, 240-pound Powell spent the last two seasons with the Lakers and
served as a backup for both championship teams. He contributed 2.7 points and
1.8 rebounds per game in 63 regular season contests last season in Los
Angeles. Powell also saw action in 13 playoff games in 2010, but averaged a
mere 0.7 points and 0.5 boards.
Powell, 27, played his high school ball at Riverdale in Georgia before playing
collegiately at North Carolina State, but left after his sophomore year. After
going undrafted in the 2003 NBA Draft, Powell decided to go play in Europe,
then was signed by the Dallas Mavericks in 2005.
Over 261 career games -- 28 starts -- Powell has compiled per game averages of
3.8 points and 3.0 rebounds with the Mavericks, Indiana, Golden State, Los Angeles Clippers and Lakers.

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.
Current betting odds Heisman trophy are:
Brady Quinn (QB, Notre Dame)
Adrian Peterson (RB, Oklahoma)
Troy Smith (QB, Ohio State)
Michael Bush (RB, Louisville)
Steve Slaton (RB, West Virginia)
Brian Brohm (QB, Louisville)
