Now that the NBA trade deadline has passed and most of thebought-out players have signed, which team is the favorite to hoistthe Larry O'Brien trophy in June?

Oddsmakers from BetOnline still have the BostonCeltics (7/2) as the favorites after the dust has settled. Asuccessful $100 bet on Boston would return $350 in profit.

The Phoenix Suns (9/2) stunned everyone with their blockbusteracquisition of Kevin Durant, and they now have the second-best oddsto win it all. Prior to the KD trade, Phoenix had the ninth-bestodds (20/1), but now they trail only Boston, meaning they have thebest odds in the Western Conference (+450).

Rounding out the top-five are the Milwaukee Bucks (23/4), DenverNuggets (8/1), Los Angeles Clippers (12/1) and Philadelphia 76ers(12/1).

While the Brooklyn Nets were a top contender several weeks ago(at 8/1), their odds dipped to 22/1 after the Kyrie Irving tradeand then 80/1 after the Durant trade. The Dallas Mavericks (14/1)jumped to the seventh-best odds after acquiring Irving.

Other teams with worsening odds are the Golden State Warriors(9/1 to 14/1), Memphis Grizzlies (11/1 to 18/1), Los Angeles Lakers(20/1 to 25/1) and New Orleans Pelicans (20/1 to 33/1).
