Today, the Celtics’ championship odds for next year jumped from +550 to +450 after the KD news.

Check out the top championship contenders’ odds for next season per Sports Betting Dime:

The Boston Celtics were already considered championship contenders for next season following their trip to the NBA Finals last season, but getting Kevin Durant would put them over the edge.

Still, the Celtics would have to put together a large enough package to reel in KD. But by floated a player like Jaylen Brown, they’re showing that they’re serious about the effort.

For now, the Nets still seem content bring Kevin Durant back next season despite his wishes, but perhaps that’ll change in the coming days.
