In a clear sign that those with financial incentives are hedging their bets that Kyrie Irving will be leaving the Boston Celtics, retailers already have his jerseys at 50% off.
Free agency has not even started yet. The NBA Finals are still ongoing. But that has not stopped this one retailer from selling Irving’s Celtics jerseys on the cheap.
The season started with Irving pretty much saying he was going to re-sign with Boston. Unfortunately, a drama-filled campaign has led to a likely departure from Boston after two seasons.
As of right now, the Brooklyn Nets are considered odds-on favorites to land Irving once free agency starts in July.
The New York Knicks and Los Angeles Lakers are also seemingly in play for the one-time NBA champ. We’ll see soon enough where Irving decides to call home next season. It just likely won’t be Boston.
