“We were lower on (the Pelicans) earlier waiting to see if there was a chance they could convince Anthony Davis to stay,” Sherman said. “That could have been a very competitiv­e team if he was paired with Zion Williamson. Under the circumstan­ces with Golden State, they could really be competitiv­e. I think he’s passed that point with that team, so it just depends what kind of return they could get. We still raised them up to 60-1, but didn’t go too high like some of the teams in triple-digits. They could be competitiv­e if they get more of a veteran piece back in the deal.”

Boston’s interest in Davis also could change the landscape, particular­ly if the Raptors lose Leonard and are no longer a favorite in the East.

“Boston being in the mix gives their odds some volatility,” Sherman said. “The Nets are interestin­g because of Kyrie leaning that way, but at this point with Durant out of the mix, let’s say it’s Kyrie Irving and Tobias Harris. I don’t see them as a title contender at that point. I don’t think there’d be too much fluctuatio­n.

“The big things are where is Anthony Davis going to go and where is Kawhi going to go now that you’ve taken Durant and Thompson out of the equation. After that, we’ll see some small adjustment­s.”
