Tuesday stood as a day of juxtaposition for the Miami Heat. On a day Kevin Durant appeared more available than ever on the NBA trade market, the Heat disappeared from a pair of lists of potential suitors for the disgruntled Brooklyn Nets forward.
At least in the eyes of some of the wiseguys.
As they are wont to do amid such heavily publicized sports moments, a pair of offshore books updated their odds of potential landing spots for the 12-time All-Star.
The Heat were nowhere to be found.
SportsBetting.ag listed 12 possible landing spots for Durant, the day after a report from The Athletic of Durant insisting on regime change in Brooklyn for him to stay.
The list of that dozen teams had the Boston Celtics as a robust favorite, at minus 175. Next closest on that list were the Phoenix Suns, Golden State Warriors and Toronto Raptors, all at plus 400. The list also included odds for the Portland Trail Blazers (+900), Memphis Grizzlies (+1200), Los Angeles Clippers (+1400), Atlanta Hawks (+1600), New York Knicks (+1600), Los Angeles Lakers (+1800), Chicago Bulls (+2200) and Oklahoma City Thunder (+2200).
