NBA Free Agency & Title Odds Movement | NBA Gambling Podcast (Ep. 99): NBA Gambling Podcast hosts Ryan ‘Rich Fat Baby’ McKee ( https://twitter.com/TheRyanMcKee ) and Zach ‘Swiss Bank’ Broner ( https://twitter.com/NBAZachB ) do their best to make sense of all the free agency player movement over the last week and what NBA futures are the best values. First, they examine the 2021 Rookie of the Year odds, while recapping last week's NBA Draft. They discuss if LeMelo Ball (+400), Anthony Edwards (+500), James Wiseman (+500), Obi Toppin (+700) or Killian Hayes (+800) are worth betting on as favorites. Toppin seems to have the clearest path to putting up the highest stat-lines on a talent-poor New York Knicks. If so, why is LeMelo Ball the favorite on the Charlotte Hornets? A team that just spent a shitload to bring in veteran Gordon Hayward. Zach also picks some longshots he likes for value: Cassius Winston (100/1) and Desmond Bane (50/1). Nico Mannion (66/1) should be faded at all costs. by NBA Gambling Podcast
