Sixers trade for Jimmy Butler: How does Las Vegas react? Philly's new odds to win NBA title

Judging from the initial reaction to the trade for disgruntled forward Jimmy Butler, Sixers fans like the deal with the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Las Vegas, on the other hand, loves it, according to ESPN:

The Sixers' odds to win the NBA title have improved from 30-1 to 16-1 at the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook, and their odds to win the Eastern Conference went from 7-1 to 3-1.

The deal is expected to be finalized on Monday.

The Sixers (8-5) sent forwards Dario Saric and Robert Covington, guard Jerryd Bayless and a 2022 second-round pick to Minnesota.
