Which team will LeBron James play for next season?
The obvious answer is the Heat, but the Cavaliers believe they have a chance.
Bovada – which also has odds on the 2015 NBA champion – is fanning those flames. The gambling website gives Cleveland the second-best chance of landing LeBron. Here are the full available odds:
- Miami Heat: 1/3
- Cleveland Cavaliers: 7/2
- Chicago Bulls: 13/2
- Houston Rockets: 13/2
- Los Angeles Lakers: 15/1
Neither the Clippers nor Knicks are listed, which seems like a wasted opportunity to extract dumb money.
Even with the odds in favor of it happening, I’d bet on Miami and take my meager winnings. Really, a 75 percent chance is probably too low. I’d say the Heat have a greater than 90 percent chance of keeping LeBron.
