NBA Free Agency: Spurs Favorites To Keep Kawhi Leonard, Lakers Sizable Underdog
It’s been an interesting start to the NBA free agency — particularly with the big dogs. Paul George shocked many by staying in Oklahoma City, LeBron made waves with his Los Angeles Lakers contract, and now, the verdict is still out on Kawhi Leonard. While most folks are routing for him to tag-team with LeBron in the City of Angels, Bovada’s Kawhi odds say otherwise. As of July 2nd, his current team is basically a flip-of-a-quarter away from keeping him. The Lakers? Well, they’re actually a decent-sized underdog in the Kawhi sweepstakes.
Kawhi Odds: What Team Will He Play for Game 1 of the 2018-2019 season?
- Spurs (-110)
- Lakers (+280)
- Celtics (+333)
- 76ers (+333)
- Clippers (+1600)
Was anyone else surprised to see the Clippers even listed? Anyone who takes that action is crazzzy…and I love a good underdog.
With all that said, Kawhi’s preferred landing spot is with King James. In fact, after Klutch Sports Group announced on Twitter that LeBron was going to LA, Woj re-affirmed Mr. Leonard’s intentions. By the way, someone needs to let the Klutch gang know about that pesky hyphen. It should be “four-time NBA MVP” and so on — just sayin’.

Besides the Kawhi odds, Bovada has gambling odds on pretty much everything.
