One week from today, LeBron James can opt out of his contract and become an unrestricted free agent. Three weeks from now, he can sign with the Los Angeles Lakers or Houston Rockets or Cleveland Cavaliers or … fill in the blank.
And Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh are in similar situations, as all have early termination options in their contracts. But despite this uncertainty, in NBA futures betting the Heat are listed as 3-1 favorites to win the championship in 2015, with the new defending champion San Antonio Spurs at 8-1 and Oklahoma City as 9-1.
Clearly, the oddsmakers have managed to “get a grip” — as Pat Riley so famously said in his epic news conference last week. It seems the smart money is saying that the Heat will have their three biggest pieces back for the start of the 2014-15 NBA season.
The futures line is always interesting at this time of year, because huge swings will be forthcoming after the NBA Draft comes and goes on Thursday night and numerous trades are made. This year, all eyes are on the Minnesota Timberwolves and Kevin Love, with most speculation pointing toward the Golden State Warriors as Love’s likeliest landing spot.
If that deal goes down, you may be kicking yourself for not placing a wager on the Warriors at 20-1.
The longest odds are on the Milwaukee Bucks at 2,500-1, the Philadelphia 76ers at 2,000-1 and the Sacramento Kings at 1,500-1.
I think that everything posted was actually very logical.
But, consider this, suppose you were to write a awesome post title?
I ain’t suggesting your information is not solid, however what if you added
a title to maybe get people’s attention? I mean Miami Heat 3-1 favorites to be 2015 NBA Champions is kinda plain. You should glance at Yahoo’s front
page and watch how they create article titles to grab people interested.
You might try adding a video or a related pic or two
to grab readers excited about everything’ve written. In my opinion, it could bring
your posts a little bit more interesting.
