With the trade deadline over and done with, now is a perfect time to reassess NBA Championship futures. <\/p>\n

Who got stronger? Whose stock is on the decline?<\/p>\n

TOP CONTENDERS<\/h3>\n

Miami Heat <\/strong>
\nNBA Championship odds: +200<\/p>\n

Every time the Miami Heat go on one of their mega hot streaks, they rocket back to the top of the NBA futures odds. However, for every big run we\u2019ve seen from the Heat, we\u2019ve seen a mini slump. Could Thursday\u2019s loss to Chicago signal the start of one?<\/p>\n

Los Angeles Lakers <\/strong>
\nNBA Championship odds: +300<\/p>\n

The Lakers didn\u2019t listen to Magic Johnson and make any big moves at the deadline but the All-Star break seemed to energize Kobe Bryant and the rest of the team. We should still expect L.A. threaten for a three-peat.<\/p>\n

Boston Celtics <\/strong>
\nNBA Championship odds: +400<\/p>\n

The Celtics were the only contender to make a major deadline move, acquiring Jeff Green in a deal that also sent Kendrick Perkins and Nate Robinson out of town. The Celtics had \u201cD\u201d to spare but were short on scoring, so adding Green could really help. You could make a case that the Celtics\u2019 odds should be No. 1.<\/p>\n

San Antonio Spurs<\/strong>
\nNBA Championship odds: +500<\/p>\n

The Spurs still fly under the radar despite owning the NBA\u2019s best record. We know this team is good enough to contend for the NBA title. But will Gregg Popovich\u2019s boys stay healthy throughout the playoffs? Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili are well into their 30s.<\/p>\n

STOCK RISING<\/h3>\n

Chicago Bulls<\/strong>
\nNBA Championship odds: +900<\/p>\n

I like the Bulls more every day. Derrick Rose has as good a chance as anyone to win the league MVP and, in Carlos Boozer and Joakim Noah, Chicago may have the NBA\u2019s most deadly rebounding tandem. Don\u2019t sleep on Chicago. This is probably my favorite sleeper NBA Championship team.<\/p>\n

Dallas Mavericks<\/strong>
\nNBA Championship odds: +1000<\/p>\n

The Mavs haven\u2019t made any major recent personnel moves but Dirk Nowitzki has this team on a tear. Dallas is 14-1 over its last 15 games. The Mavs are also perhaps the emotional favorite. Knowing that they don\u2019t have many more shots to win it all in the Dirk era, the Mavs should really leave it all on the floor this postseason. \"Sports<\/p>\n

New York Knicks <\/strong>
\nNBA Championship odds: +2000<\/p>\n

The Knicks really need no introduction for the \u201crisers\u201d list. The natural perception among every oddsmaker, bettor and fan is that Carmelo Anthony makes New York an instant contender now that he\u2019s joined forces with Amar\u2019e Stoudemire. We\u2019ll see. This team definitely lost depth in the Melo deal.<\/p>\n

Portland Trail Blazers <\/strong>
\nNBA Championship odds: +10000<\/p>\n

Good for Portland. It seemed finished after losing Greg Oden and Brandon Roy to long-term injuries but weathered the storm and won plenty of games in Roy\u2019s absence, largely thanks to LaMarcus Aldridge elevating his game to new heights. Suddenly, they found themselves buying at the deadline. Gerald Wallace is a nice addition at both ends of the floor.<\/p>\n

STOCK FALLING<\/h3>\n

Orlando Magic<\/strong>
\nNBA Championship odds: + 1400<\/p>\n

The Magic just haven\u2019t been the same since their NBA Finals run two years ago. Dwight Howard is still Superman but he needs more support. He knows it, as he showed this week when he ripped the team following a shocking home loss to Sacramento. Orlando has fallen into the second tier of contenders with the likes of Oklahoma City and Atlanta.<\/p>\n

Utah Jazz<\/strong>
\nNBA Championship odds: +10000<\/p>\n

A lot changed in a hurry down in Utah. This team seemed fine just a couple of months ago. Then came a tailspin in the New Year. The next thing we knew, Utah had said goodbye to its legendary coach, Jerry Sloan, and its franchise player, Deron Williams, in less than a two-week span. The Jazz are evidently hitting the reset button.<\/p>\n

Denver Nuggets <\/strong>
\nNBA Championship odds: +10000<\/p>\n

I\u2019m probably alone here but I\u2019m not completely convinced that the Melo trade made Denver worse. The Nuggets had useful role players in J.R. Smith, Nene, Chris Andersen and so on. Raymond Felton is a good addition from New York, as is Danilo Gallinari. The Nuggets no longer have a star but they\u2019re still a deep team that could be annoying to play against if they make the playoffs.<\/p>\n
