Today on Straight Outta Vegas, RJ Bell and Brad Powers discuss the NBA trade deadline impacting NBA title odds. The guys discuss Miami adding Memphis F Andre Iguodala, saying before the Heat added Iguodala via trade, they were 30-1 to win the NBA title, but now their odds are 18-1; to give some perspective, the 76ers have 30-1 odds to win it all. Brad and RJ say it is important to realize this because they both play in the eastern conference and are vying for position in the east. RJ says if the Heat didn't make any moves and the 76ers did, then the roles may have been reversed and the 76ers may have increased their odds. Plus, the guys discuss the impact of the other trades, including Marcus Morris joining the Los Angeles Clippers. Brad says it is a huge addition because of Morris' efficiency being so high, while RJ says he agrees with his efficiency, why weren't the Knicks better? The guys also discuss the lost position of Center after Andre Drummond was traded to the Cavaliers for 2 bench players with expiring contracts. Brad gives his best bets of the day to cap off the show.
