The title odds of the Dallas Mavericks initially improved when Kyrie Irving was acquired, but have now settled back to +1400, which ranks eighth in the NBA. The Brooklyn Nets’ odds to win the 2023 NBA championship have dropped to +2200.
The Boston Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks remain the favorites at +300 and +450 respectively.
If the Los Angeles Lakers would have been successful in their efforts to trade for Irving, they surely would have improved from their current position of +5000, especially given their status as a public team.
