According to the NBA's survey among NBA GMs, the odds for who will be the champion this season are as follows.
Boston Celtics %83
Oklahoma City Thunder %13
Dallas Mavericks %3
I think the champion will be the Boston Celtics again. I would like the Dallas Mavericks to be the champion.
I hope we watch an enjoyable and exciting season.
Not based on the betting odds:
https://www.espn.ph/nba/futuresI think the odds are more accurate because they come from expert opinions, which are usually based on what the majority of people think.
As for that survey you mentioned, with "Boston Celtics 83%," that doesn’t seem accurate at all. I wonder how many people actually participated in that survey for it to end up with such percentage.
With that 83%, are GM's saying that the Boston Celtics will repeat as champions again? Yeah, they have the insider information, but I think fans might have to say about it. Dallas has upgraded themselves with the acquisition of Klay. And there are also a lot of teams as well, getting some players to be as competitive as they can be against the Boston Celtics. So let's see, we haven't seen any back to back yet since 2020 if I'm not mistaken, so it's going to be a difficult task for them. As teams when they reach the top, sometimes slack in the next season. So let's see if Boston can do a repeat, if not, I won't be surprised as maybe Dallas could really be another contender team this season or Luka finally getting the MVP nod.
