Free agency hasn’t officially begun yet, but two moves have already been reported that had outsized impacts on the NBA championship futures betting markets.
Veteran point guard John Wall reportedly reached a buyout agreement with the Rockets earlier this week and intends to sign with the Clippers once he clears waivers and free agency officially opens at 6 p.m. ET Thursday.
The Hawks, meanwhile, landed Trae Young an All-Star running mate Wednesday when they traded for Spurs guard Dejounte Murray.
Los Angeles was already near the top of betting markets due to the expectation of a full season of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George.
