NBA MVP odds are up, with Paddy Power the first book to post them. Last year, MVP odds were up in early July, but one would imagine that all of the Kyrie Irving hubbub has delayed the process this year. Last season, it was a two man race for most of the year as Russell Westbrook and James Harden both put up ridiculous numbers.

NANANAWestbrook, along with ex teammate and current arch nemesis Kevin Durant, are the co favorites at 3. Although Paul George will help the Thunders chances at a title not really, though, he most definitely hurts Westbrooks chances at an MVP. Dont expect to see another 3. I would imagine Russs odds would have been somewhere around 2. George hadnt been dealt, but I guess we will never know. Im a little surprised that Durant has the same odds as Westbrook given the star caliber of his teammates. Last year, he didnt even crack the top five in voting. The Warriors are great regardless of whether Durant is on the roster or not so its difficult to call him the most valuable player. Unless they can put together another record breaking type year and win 7. Durant will have a hard time winning this award. Like Westbrook, James Hardens odds likely took a hit due to the Rockets addition of Chris Paul. Harden was a stat machine last year, posting 2. With Paul at the point now, its very unlikely that Harden will be able to come close to those numbers. There arent many stat crazy superstars left in this league that arent paired with another star player so it is tough to rule Harden out, but splitting reps with CP3 certainly hurts his chances. Although I dont love the fella, I must admit that King James is a bit low on this list. To be honest, I think that if Irving is indeed traded, it could help Jamess chances of winning the award for the first time since 2. While the Cavs shot at winning a title will certainly be hurt, Le. Bron would likely run the show even more than he had been the previous two seasons. I can see plenty of folks jumping at a chance to take him at 7.
