It seems that NBA players are doing absolutely everything except preparing for the NBA season as the lockout that threatens to have the NBA betting campaign delayed or cancelled shows no signs of coming to an end.

LeBron James says he's not looking at offers to play overseas right now, but plenty of other players are looking into their options. Kevin Durant and Kobe Bryant are reportedly talking to teams in the Turkish league, while Ron Artest could join the British Basketball League, and Earl Clark has signed with China's Zhejiang Lions – a team that's trying to get Dirk Nowitzki to play with them as well with a lucrative offer.

Meanwhile, James has been busy doing charity work in Akron, while Heat teammate Dwyane Wade has a softer view on playing on an international club – he says he'll consider it if the NBA isn't up and running in the fall.

James, Wade, and the Heat remain at the top of the NBA futures board at the Bodog Sportsbook as the owners and players look for some middle ground in their work stoppage. The Heat are pegged as the 5/2 championship favorites right now, ahead of the Los Angeles Lakers (11/2) and the Chicago Bulls (7/1).

Durant's Oklahoma City Thunder are at 15/2 on that odds board, with the defending-champion Dallas Mavericks at 9/1, and the Boston Celtics at 10/1. Those odds should see little movement as long as the labour talks see little movement – unless of course a star player on one of those teams ends up hurting themselves while playing elsewhere.

The complete NBA futures list is available at the Bodog Sportsbook, and that could be the extent of NBA betting for some time if NBPA Executive Director Billy Hunter is to be believed – he says the 2011-12 season is probably going to end up being cancelled.
