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. Get all your NBA odds
