With the addition of James, Dwayne Wade, and Chris Bosh

Miami
is considered the favorites to win it all next season in the NBA.


Miami
has been given 7/4 odds win according to the online sports book SBGGLOBAL. Other short odds to win are the L.A. Lakers (11/4),
Orlando (10/1), and

Boston
(12/1).


Miami
won its only NBA Championship in 2006, but with the three-headed monster it now has, the Heat will clearly have the most talented starting lineup of any team in the league. The key concern for

Miami
will be in depth as it has little money to fill up the roster. If one of the big three gets injured, the Heat could go downhill in a hurry.

The Lakers have won the last two NBA titles and have 17 world championships in franchise history.

L.A.
has a solid team led by Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol and also key role players like Ron Artest, Andrew Bynum, and Derek Fisher. Having Phil Jackson as a coach doesn’t hurt either, as the Zen Master has 11 NBA titles to his credit and he has never not won three titles in a row after getting the first two.

Orlando reached the NBA Finals for the second time in franchise history in 2009, but were dropped in the Eastern Conference finals by

Boston
this season. Still led by Dwight Howard and Jameer Nelson, the Magic have the talent to contend with the Heat, but will need help scoring from Rashard Lewis.


Boston
won the NBA title in 2008 and has 17 world titles to its credit. The Celtics reached the finals this year before coming up short against the Lakers in seven games. The Celtics have a strong starting group in Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, Rajon Rondo, Kevin Garnett, and Kendrick Perkins.

Boston
’s bench was a big key this season as well, but they are losing Rasheed Wallace to retirement, but recently signed Jermaine O’Neal as a replacement.
