Kyrie Irving is letting Knicks fans dream for another year.
The Celtics’ star guard, who has been rumored to have interest in signing with the Knicks should he opt out of his contract and become a free agent next summer, hinted at testing the free-agent market in 2019. Speaking to reporters on Tuesday for the first time since March, Irving said he had no intention of signing an extension with the Celtics before next season, his second since coming over in a trade with the Cavaliers last August.
“Contractually, financially, [an extension] just doesn’t make any sense,” Irving said, via ESPN.
