Latest NBA odds to sign Kyrie Irving aren't a great look for Celtics

Share

The Boston Celtics' season hasn't ended yet, but sportsbooks already are preparing for the fallout.

Bleacher Report on Tuesday shared Caesars' odds for which team will sign Kyrie Irving when he hits free agency on July 1. And there are two teams ahead of his current employer.

The Knicks have been rumored as a potential destination for Irving for some time, as he grew up in nearby West Orange, N.J., and is close friends with Kevin Durant, who reportedly could consider New York this offseason, as well.

The Brooklyn Nets have gained steam as an Irving suitor, though; they overachieved their way to a playoff berth this season and have the flexibility to sign at least one maximum-contract player this season.

What about Irving's preseason promise to re-sign with the Celtics? Boston's front office remains confident he'll stick around, but Irving's current postseason struggles and a looming second-round exit are dark clouds that could prompt the 27-year-old to skip town.

The Los Angeles Lakers also are a notable inclusion on this list, as there's been chatter Irving would consider reuniting with former Cleveland Cavaliers teammate LeBron James.

No one besides Irving knows what his future holds, but these odds are good reminder that it might be a white-knuckle offseason for Celtics fans.
