The trade is not yet official, and the Celtics are now the favorites to win the Eastern Conference
Current odds of winning a championship:
Boston: 10-1
Detroit: 12-1
Cleveland: 14-1
Chicago: 14-1
the only teams with better odds from out west:
San Antonio: 4-1
Phoenix: 7-2
Dallas: 7-2
So as of this morning, those that are putting money down see the Celtics as having the forth best chance in the NBA of winning a title. Seeing as three months ago the team ended the regular season with the second-worst record in the NBA, that's a pretty impressive summer for Ainge and company

Quick follow up to the original post.
Vegas odds of winning the next NBA championship as of August 29th (which is to say, after the Celtics signing of Posey, House and Pollard):
San Antonio Spurs: 7-2
Boston Celtics: 9-2
Dallas Mavericks: 9-2
Phoenix Suns: 9-2
Detroit Pistons: 12-1
Houston Rockets: 12-1
Chicago Bulls: 15-1
Cleveland Cavaliers: 15-1
Miami Heat: 15-1
etc
I think that's called being the favorite to win the Eastern conference. Incredible.
