As for where he could end up, sportsbooks are already moving the odds. The Celtics have seen their odds lengthen from -175 to -140. That’s a change from an implied 63.6% chance to an implied 58.3% chance. Meanwhile, their biggest competition is expected to be the Suns who remain at +350 to land Durant. The biggest mover on the odds market is the Miami Heat who’ve gone from +2500 to +500 to land Durant. A change from an implied 3.8% chance to an implied 16.7% chance.
