Odds for Kevin Durant’s next team

Who is currently leading in the KD Sweepstakes?

According to Bookies.com, Monty Williams’ team is currently leading the race to sign Durant, with odds set at +200.

The Miami Heat are next in line with odds of +350, followed by the Portland Trail Blazers with odds of +800.

As we move further into the NBA offseason, the site is now giving odds of +650 for the chance of Durant signing with the team.

In unrelated NBA updates, teams can now start offering contracts to free agents right at midnight, giving unsigned players the chance to sign and possibly resolving any roster congestion.

Deandre Ayton, the standout puzzle piece from the 2018 No. 1 pick, is expected to leave the Valley after his impressive season.

The Suns have given Ayton a qualifying offer, rendering him a restricted free agent and allowing them to match any offers he may receive from other teams.

Currently, GM James Jones seems to be prioritizing acquiring the best player possible in the trade market.

New Leader of the Suns in Pursuit of the 2023 NBA Championship

Two Arizona sports betting platforms have raised the odds for the Suns to win the Larry O’Brien Trophy in 2023, making them the favorite.

The Suns are currently at the top of the league standings, with BetMGM and Caesars Sportsbook Arizona both listing them as favorites. BetMGM has Phoenix at +500 and Caesars at +550.

Last month, the Suns were not viewed as top contenders for the championship, with BetMGM giving them odds of +900 and Caesars Sportsbook offering +800 as of June 24th.

Phoenix has climbed from sixth place to first place on BetMGM’s NBA title odds board.

The Suns’ optimistic attitude is reflected in their performance at Caesars Sportsbook, where they have moved from being tied with the L.A. Clippers for fifth place to taking the lead.
