July 16th, 2010NBA Free Agency 2010: Denver Nuggets Sign Al Harrington, Two Bench Players
July 15th, 2010The Denver Nuggets reached an agreement on a five-year, $34 million contract with free agent Al Harrington on Tuesday.
Harrington, 6'9", provides the Nuggets with much needed depth, as Denver is expecting to start the 2010-11 season without starting power forward Kenyon Martin and dependable backup Chris Andersen, as a result of offseason surgeries.
He was also targeted by the Dallas Mavericks and New Jersey Nets because of his offensive arsenal. He averaged 17.7 points per game and 5.6 rebounds per game last season.
The Nuggets and Nets have been two of the biggest losers in the free agency frenzy, as they have both failed to sign any top free agents. However, the Nuggets made a decent move by getting Harrington.
The Nets meanwhile, have failed to make any substantial moves throughout this free agency period. This is extremely surprising, considering two of the NBA's best young talents in Devin Harris and Brook Lopez are playing in New Jersey.
Denver also made two relatively unnoticed moves today as they have agreed to deals with Shelden Williams and Anthony Carter to improve their bench depth further.
The actual terms are undisclosed.
Tour De France Stage 10: Versus TV and Live Streaming Schedule
July 14th, 2010Following Tuesday's monumental Stage 9, which saw then-leader Cadel Evans fall by the wayside with a fractured elbow, Wednesday's Stage 10 should be a relative breeze.
The 111-mile route from Chambery to Gap features only one serious climb, up the Laffrey pass, and it's unlikely to significantly upset the new hierarchy atop the leaderboard.
Luxembourg's Andy Schleck (pictured right) is the new man in the maillot jaune , and he holds a narrow, 41-second lead on defending champion Alberto Contador of Spain (left). Lance Armstrong is still hoping to bounce back after several early crashes and sits in 31st place, about 16 minutes back of Schleck.
Stage 10 airs Wednesday, July 14, starting at 8 a.m. ET.
You can catch all the action on Versus, available on channel 603 on DirecTV and channel 151 on Dish Network. Check your local cable listings for channel lineups.
