How the Nets Suns odds to win 2023 NBA F

The Nets saw their 2023 NBA title odds take a ma sive hit Thursday afternoon when news broke that superstar forward Kevin Durant reportedly requested a trade. Before Durant made his request, the Nets were one of the favorites to win the title next season at +700 on DraftKings Sportsbook.The Nets are potentially looking at a squad that still has Kyrie Irving, Ben Simmons, and whatever hefty return they get back for Durant. However, without KD, the road to the Eastern Conference Finals let alone an NBA title will be significantly more difficult.MORE: | Below, well look at the Nets latest odds to win the NBA championship next season, as well as the odds for Phoenix, the rumored front-runner in the KD sweepstakes. The Nets are now one of the long shots to win the NBA Finals next summer at Myles Garrett Jersey +5000. This is a far cry from where Brooklyn was just a couple days ago (+700) where it was considered a top-three favorite with the trio of Durant, Kyrie Irving, and Ben Simmons.Now, Brooklyn is looking at an uncertain situation with Irving, who just opted into the last year of his deal, and Simmons. Brooklyn will likely get a significant haul return for Durant, though that could include more future value than immediate. However, it likely wont be enough to catapult this team into the upper echelon of the Eastern Conference (especially if Durant stays in the conference). At this point, it's unclear if Brooklyn will go all-in on the immediate future or start a Cleveland Browns Jersey rebuild proce s that will weaken it even more in 2022-23.MORE: It's po sible Brooklyn acquires some solid players in this trade and free agency and remains a top-four threat in the East. It's also po sible Durant changes his mind and stays in Brooklyn. In either scenario, Brooklyn's current odds to win the East or even the NBA Championship are worth a small sprinkle. However, it's more likely Brooklyn's chances Jarvis Landry Jersey take a major hit, so throwing any real amount of money on a team merely fighting to avoid the play-in is a complete waste. With Durant rumored to potentially be heading to Phoenix, the Suns' 2023 title odds have shot down to +600 (third lowest) from +900. Durants insertion into the Suns core to play alongside Chris Paul and Devin Booker makes Phoenix as formidable as anyone in the loaded Western Conference.Of course, that's a suming Booker isn't part of the deal, which, at this point, is up in the air. The whole reason Phoenix was rumored as the front-runner is because of past Durant comments about wanting to play with Booker. However, reports soon surfaced that Brooklyn would demand Phoenix's young superstar as part of the trade package.MORE: | Phoenix was the odds-on favorite to win this year's NBA Finals after breezing through the regular season with a league-best 64-18 record. A disappointing lo s to Dallas in the second round coupled with the uncertain future of restricted free agent center Deandre Ayton Phillip Gaines Jersey has left the Suns in a precarious position. To pull off a Durant trade keep Booker, Phoenix would likely have to part with stud wing Mikal Bridges and Ayton (via a sign-and-trade) in addition to future picks and another depth piece or two. While they would still likely be "better" thanks to the influx of a top-end talent like Durant, the Suns' signature depth and defense -- which was a big part of their succe s the past two seasons -- would take a hit. Given the ages and injury histories of Durant and Paul, that would leave Phoenix as a "risky" favorite.That said, it's still worthwhile to lay something down on Phoenix to win the title right now. Its odds will get even shorter if it actually completes the trade for Durant giving up Booker, and even if Booker is part of the deal, Phoenix will still Austin Seibert Jersey have a loaded roster. Moreover, even if the Suns don't land KD, they'll still have a solid nucleus that can contend in the West, especially with a notable free agent/trade acquisition.
