Philly might be one of the better plays actual chances vs odds but I wouldn’t actually do it.

New Orleans and Chicago are probably better too but in the end losers.

I wouldn’t bet outside the top 5-8.

Some teams real odds are surely 500, 1000, 10,000 or more to 1.

When Hollinger does his projections I think it will show that.

I lost a longer post discussing this but I’ll return to say these are payout odds, not “real” odds. If they were real odds the total chances to win would be about 150% and that can’t be. A good number of these teams have less chance to win and more so at the bottom end. Some team’s real odds are surely 500, 100, 10,000 or more to 1. Cavs, Celtics and Lakers I think add to 73% by this. Probably one or two are overstated and the other may be reasonable but which is which? Apparently Vegas think they can pay the winners and at least on average make money. They are usually right. There are good plays here, if you were of the mind to bet and research further before you bet. But I think they limit the size of the action anyone can get. Or at least they can or try to if they think they have reason to.

@Vega I wasn't suggesting that the Clips would want him. There is a paragraph between the two thoughts to indicate transition. I was just suggesting that the Clips would make moves and that the Thunder would want to move Watson.

The Clips won’t want Watson. They have Mike Taylor, so they don’t need a backup to Baron, and I think there are plenty of better scenarios for them than trading someone for Watson’s expiring contract.

There will probably be 10 big trades of before training camps start on Oct.1st. I don’t see the Clipps going into the season with Kaman, Randolph, Griffin and Camby and DeAndre Jordan. Especially with Camby on an expiring deal.

I also see Presti busily revisiting trade scenarios which have us jettisoning Watson and his now expiring contract.

@Jordan
Kevin Martin was hurt last year…but I was kind of wondering the same thing…especially with Memphis having a great pick…

WOAHHHH

I just saw the Clippers with 100/1…I would put them at 50/1…

If Baron Davis got back to form…Eric Gordon improved even more…Marcus Camby played a solid year and Griffin destroyed they’d be great.

of course…it is the Clippers….
