MIAMI -- Out of the nearly $4 billion worth of new contracts that were signed this offseason, some of them seem fairly certain to benefit the team thats laying out the money.Kevin Durant, he makes Golden State even better.LeBron James, hes worth every penny to Cleveland.Not every deal is a lock to work, and heres a look at 10 contracts that were executed in recent months where it could be argued theres a fair amount of risk involved.---AL HORFORDLeft: AtlantaSigned with: Boston, 4 years, $113 millionHorford has never averaged 20 points, but hell now average more than $26 million in salary. The Celtics have raved about this move since they got it done this summer, and Horford knows that with this kind of salary comes enormous responsibility -- especially in Boston, where fans are starved for a return to the NBAs elite level.Outlook: It only works if Horford delivers a title.---HASSAN WHITESIDEStayed with Miami, 4 years, $98 millionHe made $980,000 last season and is now assured of making 100 times that much over the next four years. The question with Whiteside throughout the will-they-or-wont-they decision process in Miami was whether he could be trusted with that kind of money. The Heat not only believe it, but ultimately they wound up needing Whiteside because of the Chris Bosh saga.Outlook: He has a skillset like few others in the game, and $98 million was what the market bore.---HARRISON BARNESLeft: Golden StateSigned with: Dallas, 4 years, $94 millionDallas missed on a number of big free-agent targets in recent years, then wound up taking Barnes this summer. There was no room left for Barnes in Golden State, and he parlayed passing on a $64 million deal in 2015 into one worth much more now. Its still Dirk Nowitzkis team and will stay that way, but Barnes will have to play at a very high level to make this seem like a win.Outlook: He struggled in the preseason, and the money will bring big pressure. He will have show he can handle that pressure.---JOAKIM NOAHLeft: ChicagoSigned with: New York, 4 years, $73 millionHe played in only 29 games last season, had no rhythm on the floor and couldnt shoot. A change of scenery might help, but he turns 32 in February. His best game last season was 21 points and 10 rebounds -- against the Knicks, which explain why they came running with checkbook wide open.Outlook: The Knicks arent worried about the money. They need to worry about his durability.---LUOL DENGLeft: MiamiSigned with: Los Angeles Lakers, 4 years, $72 millionWhen Deng came to Miami two years ago there were questions about how much more he had left in the tank. But Deng had consecutive good seasons with the Heat, and even flourished when he got moved to power forward last February when Miami lost Chris Bosh again. He can still play, and more importantly to the Lakers, he can lead.Outlook: A young core can learn plenty from Deng, which makes that deal money well spent.---BISMACK BIYOMBOLeft: TorontoSigned with: Orlando, 4 years, $72 millionHes coming off a career year, so thats good. Alas, that career year was him scoring 5.5 points per game. He doesnt have an outside game, isnt good from the foul line and isnt exactly a dominating shot-blocker. But he can rebound, and his big games in last seasons playoffs -- eight double-digit board games, including a 26-rebound night against Cleveland in the East finals -- revealed all his potential.Outlook: Orlando had the money, and knows it wasnt getting a 20-10 guy. But hell need to do more to make it all worthwhile.---DWIGHT HOWARDLeft: HoustonSigned with: Atlanta, 3 years, $70.5 millionHoward essentially replaces Al Horford and gets to go home to Atlanta. The Hawks are good but not great, and really, the same can be said about Howard now. A look at the scoring numbers -- 13.7 points per game last season -- suggests a decline, but that was moreso based on him taking fewer shots than at any point in the last decade.Outlook: Losing Horford meant Atlanta had to do something, and playing in his hometown could invigorate the sometimes-enigmatic Howard.---DWYANE WADELeft: MiamiSigned with: Chicago, 2 years, $47 millionWade cherished Miami and Miami cherished Wade. But years and years of little problems eventually turned into a mess that couldnt be solved, and Wade went to his hometown in one of the more surprising moves of the summer. He turns 35 this season and has been hearing the hes-in-decline argument for years. But he keeps silencing doubters, and has plenty of motivation.Outlook: His jersey will sell, hell excite the Chicago fan base and hell probably coax more out of Jimmy Butler. Hall of Famers are worth the cash.---PAU GASOLLeft: ChicagoSigned with: San Antonio, 2 years, $32 millionThe Spurs love international players, love players who can do multiple things well and love players who understand that a perfect pass means more than any highlight. Its almost like Gasol is a perfect fit, especially now that San Antonio has lost the retired Tim Duncan. (And at 36, he makes the Spurs younger.) Gasol is still a double-double machine and fantastic from the foul line.Outlook: Theres 50 or so players making more than Gasol this season. There arent 50 better players. Spurs got a steal.---ROY HIBBERTLeft: Los Angeles LakersSigned with: Charlotte, 1 year, $5 millionHibberts game vanished last season, and there were 27 games in which he had at least as many fouls as he did points. But the Hornets realized they needed some help up front, and at 7-foot-2 Hibbert at least provides an imposing frame. Being on a third team in as many seasons isnt ideal, but heres why this one might work -- Charlottes associate head coach under Steve Clifford is a Georgetown guy like Hibbert, named Patrick Ewing.Outlook: Ewing gets a project, one that comes a low financial risk for Michael Jordans club.

Drue Tranquill Youth Jersey .C. -- Manny Malhotra had two goals and an assist, leading the Carolina Hurricanes to a 6-3 win over the Ottawa Senators on Saturday. Having gone wicketless with the first 280 balls of his Test career, Miguel Cummins picked up three in his next ten balls. In the space of those first 280 balls, Cummins went through multiple frustrations: going off with cramps in his debut Test, and, in his second Test, watching batsmen fend accurate bouncers in the general direction of short leg but just out of the fielders reach.For me, the debut Test was very tough, because I was playing for the first time so nerves took in, Cummins said at the end of the second days play in St Lucia. Was fighting a long way, fighting hard, hard, hard. Came today, saw the [other] guys take wickets but didnt let that fluster me. I tried looking for wickets but my job was to build pressure.On Tuesday, West Indies took the first five Indian wickets for 126 runs, and in the second session on Wednesday, they ran through the last five wickets for the cost of only 14 runs. But in between, R Ashwin and Wriddhiman Saha put on 213 to balance out some of West Indies good work with thhe ball.ddddddddddddCummins applauded his team-mates for toppling Indias top half, but admitted Ashwin and Saha made things tough for them. We did a very good job of getting their top order, he said. They are a very talented batting line-up but we stuck to our plans. But cant take anything away from Ashwin and Saha, they batted very well. We had to keep fighting when they had the partnership.West Indies made good use of a St Lucia pitch with plenty of bounce on offer, with Alzarri Joseph dismissing Virat Kohli with a well-directed lifter on day one and Cummins and Shannon Gabriel wiping out the lower order with a barrage of short balls.The plan was not to bowl short [exclusively] but mix it up, Cummins said. Ashwin normally sits on the back foot, lot of guys sit on the back foot. So our plan was to get some balls [pitched] up and let them drive and then use the short-pitched stuff. ' ' '
