Cavaliers favored by Las Vegas to claim 2016 NBA championship

Cheer up, Cleveland -- the Cavaliers are the clear-cut favorites to win next year's championship.

The Golden State Warriors outlasted the depleted Cavaliers on Tuesday, clinching this year's championship with a 105-97 win in Game 6 of the NBA Finals.

But the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook made Cleveland the early 9-4 favorite to win the 2016 NBA title. Golden State and the Oklahoma City Thunder are next at 5-1, followed by the Los Angeles Clippers (10-1), San Antonio Spurs (12-1) and Chicago Bulls (12-1). A lot could change during the offseason, with a plethora of big-name free agents possibly on the move.

Portland forward LaMarcus Aldridge, Memphis center Marc Gasol, Miami guard Dwyane Wade, Clippers center DeAndre Jordan and Spurs forward Kawhi Leonard are among the prominent free agents.

this stuff really is subject to change. Cleveland did well to get this far with all those injuries. Must be really hard to go all that way and come up short. The defeat is probably less stinging if you lose in the first round or the conference semis.
