2013 NBA Basketball Odds After Dwight Howard Trade

August 10, 2012

How the Odds were affected

Last night the longest trade rumor was set to rest as Dwight Howard was finally moved to the Los Angeles Lakers. This 4 team deal had significant impact on the NBA futures as the 4 teams acquired new players. The big winners in terms of futures were the Los Angeles Lakers as their odds moved form 10/1 to 3/1 and second favorites after the Heat. The Other winner form this trade is the Philadelphia 76ers, whose odds went from 40/1 to 25/1. The team least affected by the trade was the Denver Nuggets whose odds only moved from 30/1 to 35/1. As is always the case when it comes to a blockbuster trade, one team is considered the loser when it comes to futures betting, and that team is the Orlando Magic. Their odds went from 25/1 to 40/1 as they look to rebuild through the draft.
