I lean no, but wouldn’t be surprised by anything. Irving seems to care about how he is perceived (I think most of us do) and struggled in a leadership role in Boston and both of those things will be key factors for how he handles this off season. The Celtics can offer more money and an extra year, and Irving hasn’t exactly been an ironman over his NBA career. Kyrie was visibly bothered by the negative PR of this season, and I’m just not sure relocating to another team is worth the risk, paycut, and label of “two time cut and run guy” (fair or not) it would entail.
