The Westgate SuperBook in Las Vegas dropped the Sixers odds of winning the NBA title from 30-1 to 16-1 after news that the fellas acquired Jimmy Butler from the Minnesota Timberwolves.
"I like the deal for Philly," said Jeff Sherman, Westgate's sportsbook manager. "I don't think they gave up much at all and added a solid veteran to keep defenses more honest."
The Sixers sent Dario Saric, Robert Covington, Jerryd Bayless and a second-round pick in 2022 to the Timberwolves. The Sixers also get 7-footer Justin Patton in the deal, which is expected to be finalized Monday.
