00:00everybody's looking up at the thunder plus 230 the drastically short price on a team that just

00:06won an nba championship to go back to back there has been a little bit of movement on the cleveland

00:12cavaliers moving up in this market a six to one price and now a clear distinction in front of

00:18both new york and houston for that second best price and of course the shortest among those

00:23eastern conference contenders but donnie the main story in the nba championship odds here at the end

00:29of june that will carry over to july and october when the season begins and probably december

00:36around christmas and march and april when the nba season is ending is that the thunder are going to

00:41be a short favorite expected and anticipated to go back to back as an nba champ it's interesting too

00:49you look at the top five in the odds market here at fandle it's kind of like the thunder they're not

00:53perennial championship contenders they just won one last year understand that but the first in their

00:57history the cavaliers here outside of lebron james like well what have you done for me they're number

01:01two the new york knicks haven't won anything for 50 years they don't even have a head coach and

01:06they're sitting there in that third spot followed by the rockets who've been a long time since they

01:09were viable in the nba and then you see the orlando magic haven't been viable since penny and jack it

01:14feels like 25 to 30 years ago at this point also so it's a fun part of the nba but then you see

01:20the other side it's right the lakers the nuggets the celtics the clippers and you know the t will

01:24certainly come on strong it's a wide open field in the nba outside of okc and i do agree with some

01:29of those price points here but yes one of your questions was what's going to happen in some of

01:33the free agents last trade markets that's not going to change anything like obviously if the

01:37lakers lose lebron james but then they would get probably some really good pieces back which would

01:41damage the other team and where does he actually go so i think these odds are pretty much set up for

01:45the remaining parts of the summer unless you see crazy circumstances devastating injuries or some

01:50ridiculousness which we're not really anticipating in the free agent market that's going to start and

01:54i guess the biggest watch is now not what free agent is going but who the knicks actually bring

01:59is bring in as their head coach at this point
