NBA moves

And this keeps spinning.

The NBA has fully embraced the hot stove approach of what used to be the super fun baseball offseason. Teams wheelin’ and dealin’ with moves being done and even more being whispered.

Heck, Paul George is a top 12 or 15 player in this league and Vegas has set the following prop odds for his jersey for next year:

  • Indiana Pacers – 2/3
  • Los Angeles Lakers – 13/4
  • Cleveland Cavaliers – 7/1
  • Los Angeles Clippers – 9/1
  • Washington Wizards – 12/1
  • Phoenix Suns – 16/1
  • Any other team – 4/1

That’s nuts.
