Jimmy Butler Trade Fallout, Odds Shifts
In all my years covering professional basketball, I can't recall an NBA trade deadline that will impact the future of the league more than this one.
We saw a generational player head-scratchingly dealt to the Association's "Evil Empire." We saw another blockbuster trade with a pair of perennial All-Stars go down the next day.
And, now, the name that has commanded the most headlines during the first half of the 2024-25 season got his way as Jimmy Butler is headed to the Golden State (Warriors).
BetOnline.ag quickly adjusted its NBA Championship odds following the five-team trade that occurred this evening.
Here are the notes:
NBA Championship
- Warriors: 40/1 to 33/1
- Heat: 200/1 to 500/1
Conference Championship
- Warriors: 28/1 to 18/1
- Heat: 100/1 to 200/1
To Make Playoffs
