The Cleveland Cavaliers have a stranglehold on their series against the Toronto Raptors with a 3-0 lead thanks to LeBron James‘s last-second heroics that gave the Cavs the win on Saturday night. With every win from the Cavs, we inch toward a complete media circus of an offseason.
There is a pretty good chance that when the 2018-2019 NBA season kicks off, LeBron James will no longer be playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers. And LeBron’s not the only superstar who will likely be wearing a new uniform next season. Paul George is leaving OKC for greener pastures.
Because Vegas puts out odds on pretty much everything you can actually bet on where LeBron and Paul George will be playing next season. These odds change with every Cavs win or loss, but these are the latest/most up to date odds available from BetOnline:
LeBron James
Cavaliers +150
Rockets +350
Lakers +350
76ers +350
Warriors +1000
Clippers +1200
Heat +1600
And here are the latest/most up to date odds on where Paul George will suit up next season:
Paul George
Lakers -175
Thunder +400
76ers +500
Nets +700
Pacers +750
Cavaliers +1000
Even the Cleveland fans I’ve spoken to over the past few weeks/months don’t seem at all optimistic that LeBron James will remain with the Cleveland Cavaliers next season. Furthermore, the ones I’ve spoken to seem to have already made peace with LeBron leaving and are looking ahead to rebuilding after this season….Which, is pretty remarkable given that the Cavs are easily the favorites to re-sign LeBron.
