New York Knicks Rumour Roundup: Kyrie Irving tipped to join, secret Kevin Durant meeting, and more

Kyrie Irving backed to sign with the Knicks

Kyrie Irving will reportedly only consider joining a title contender

Kyrie Irving is expected to walk away from the Celtics this summer, although the Knicks are expected to face intense competition from both the Los Angeles Lakers and Brooklyn Nets. Yet, the man that coached Irving in high-school (Kevin Boyle) has told SNY.TV that Irving will head to the Knicks:

I think there's a good chance in my opinion that Kyrie ends up there," Boyle said in an interview with SNY.tv's Ian Begley, stressing that he was speaking as a fan and not as someone who had inside information on Irving's plans.

In my gut, I would think that would work best for him and I would think that (the Knicks) have a really strong chance of that happening. But I have not spoken directly to him and I don't know that to be a fact.

During the 18/19 season, Irving averaged 23.8 points, 6.9 assists, and 5.0 rebounds per game.
