Closer still.
Nothing is official and in fact, nothing can be official for another two weeks when free agency begins, but the Boston Herald’s respected Celtic beat writer Steve Bulpett — he’s covered the Celtics for three decades— is suggesting Thursday that Kyrie Irving is headed to Brooklyn.
According to a source with ties to Roc Nation, the organization expected to become Irving’s new representative, the All-Star point guard is prepared to sign with the Brooklyn Nets when he becomes a free agent next month. A separate league source told the Herald that his team (not the Celtics) has received the same information and is operating under the belief that Irving wants to join the Nets.
