    Are the Thunder at +700 to win the title worth a play?
    Young team with young legs that should be able to handle the tough schedule this year with back to backs and things like that. I could see them grabbing the 1 seed in the West and the homecourt advantage getting them to the Finals.

    Anyone see any value in them at +700? I'm not so sure there's any point in betting on a team to win a title unless they are +1000 minimum but maybe people disagree.

      Didn't Westbrook really suck in the playoffs? Still young, and not matured enough.

        Westbrook was awful yet they were so close to the finals. Teams like these usually take a few years to learn the lessons.

          Westbrook definitely does have a lot to learn but I question Durant's toughness more than anything else. You can take him out of games.

            Durant will win his first ring when he gains about 15-20 pounds. It's not their time yet. Plus its not smart to bet any of these futures until final decisions are made. Because all the futures are going to change if dramatic moves are made.

              Westbrook has a SG mentality at the point. Not good.

                Don't do it.

                    IMO it would be worth it if the NBA was a real sport, but it's not and the Lakers will win the west this year. I'm sure it's a done deal. Good look to you though!

                      There's a lot more parity in the West now than in previous seasons, with the Lakers having having a new HC and looking to change the team up, Dallas coming off the championship season and likely to come out flat, the Spurs continuing to age, and the Blazers and Memphis one year better. 10-1 isn't value in what should be a very competitive field.
