Watch: Could Kyrie & Jimmy Butler team up on the Knicks in 2019?


I'm going to have to call BS on this one.

Kyrie Irving and Jimmy Butler might be planning an exit to the New York Knicks in 2019? I'm just not buying it.

While the source publication, the Chicago Sun-Times, has broken important NBA news before (including Kyrie's desire for a trade from the Cleveland Cavaliers last summer), it seems to be building its chops breaking the "news" of disgruntled stars, and such stars do not always get what they want.


The Celtics should take care to avoid pissing Irving off, of course, but wanting to play with your friends is not a priority for Boston and most teams in the league, so don't expect Butler on the Celtics any time soon.

I wouldn't advise taking bets on either of these two landing with the New York Knicks, either, though in Butler's case, I wouldn't rule it out.
