The Heat dropped to +3000 to win the 2024 NBA title after the Bucks swooped in with the shocking blockbuster trade.
The move plummeted Miami from the fifth-best odds at the title to tied with the Memphis Grizzlies for the 11th-best odds.
The Heat appeared to shape most of their offseason on their pursuit of Lillard, letting key playoff contributors Gabe Vincent and Max Strus walk away in free agency. Miami is now stuck with a Lillard-sized hole in its aging roster and competing with four Eastern Conference teams with better chances at a title.The Bucks shipped veteran guard and two-time All-Star Jrue Holiday to Portland in exchange for Lillard. Almost immediately, buzz got out that the rebuilding Blazers were looking to flip Holiday, with the Heat and 76ers emerging as the favorites to land him, which would almost assuredly boost the title odds of both of those teams.
And don’t forget, you can’t ever count out the Heat, who have had multiple Cinderella runs to the NBA Finals in recent years.
