Who will win the NBA 2010 title?

Background: This will run up until early June and will close during the Finals.

The Lakers are planning to re-sign Ariza and Odom and return the same team, with more experience.
The Celtics want Garnett to be healthy, but might have a surprise trade up their sleeve.
The Cavaliers got Shaq and I'm pretty sure they are going to add one more big name.
The Spurs scored huge with Jefferson and Blair.
The Magic snagged Carter.
The Trailblazers are still incredibly young, but their time is near.

Settlement details:As reported by a major mainstream news source.

It looks like I should have put Dallas in here instead of Houston, since they resigned Kidd and added Marion and Gortat.

Although all the big boys signed big names like Artest (LAL), Wallace (BOS), Jefferson (SAS), Shaq (CAVS) - the biggest free agent left on the market might have the biggest impact on the championship. Lamar Odom, if he stays with the Lakers, makes them prohibitive favorites to win it all, but if he bolts to Portland, they then jump to the top 3 in the West, at least equal to the Spurs. And if the Heat can get Odom and Boozer, they jump to the top 4 in the East, at least equal to the Magic.

Odds are that Odom stays with the Lakers. But if he goes to the Blazers or Heat, things will get interesting.
