Kyrie Irving says reception at MSG 'nothing but a distraction at this point'
play
Just hours after giving mixed signals about his future, Kyrie Irving heads into Madison Square Garden and drops 23 points and 10 rebounds as the Celtics defeat the Knicks. (1:30)
12:38 AM ET
Irving also heard cheers from the crowd each time he touched the ball early in the first quarter. And a chant of "We want Kyrie" filled the arena early in the second half.
Asked about the reception after Boston's 113-99 win, Irving replied, "It's nothing but a distraction at this point. Like I said, I'm appreciative of the fan support I get in any arena. But of course, coming back home -- obviously, what's going on in terms of that noise and commentary, it's just a bunch of nonsense right now. So, can't do anything about it. I'm just accepting, I'm appreciative, but at the same time, I got a game to focus on."
New York likely will pursue Irving in free agency this summer.
The Knicks' trade of Kristaps Porzingis on Thursday leaves them with the chance to have $71 million in cap space -- enough for two max free agents this summer.
Irving, 26, strongly implied earlier Friday that he isn't fully committed to re-signing with the Celtics, something he said before the season that he had planned to do.

When asked if his mindset regarding his decision to re-sign with the Celtics had shifted, Irving said, "Ask me July 1." He later added that the Celtics still remain "at the head of the race" regarding free agency.
Asked after Friday's game if he thinks the free agency talk will cool between now and July 1, Irving said the answer is obvious.

Kyrie: The media is reaching to get reactions out of him
Kyrie Irving is happy that other NBA players want to play with him, but he is irritated by the media attention.
"You know the answer to that, man," he responded. "Obviously you would hope it would quiet down. But like I said, it doesn't help when, across the league, it's just outside noise again and my name gets thrown into it -- and conversations, speculations, everybody's worried about their credibility. I don't know how this media empire works. I know it's a bunch of nonsense to me. I have a focus on winning a championship this year, and that's where my focus is gonna stay. So even me saying something like that is not concrete enough for anybody.
"So, it is what it is. I gotta go home and take care of my friends and family, and that's the stuff that really matters for me."
Irving was also asked Friday about the Knicks' decision to trade Porzingis.

We've got you covered on all the trade talkheading into Feb. 7.
• NBA trade news, buzz, grades
• Trade machine: You be the GM
• 2019, 2020 free agents: Team lists
• Trade tracker: Details on every deal
• Draft assets for all 30 teams
"I respect the Knicks organization," Irving said. "Obviously they are making moves to position themselves for this upcoming summer. So I wish them the best."
Opposing teams expect the Knicks to be aggressive in pursuing the top free agents in the coming offseason, a group that includes Irving, Kevin Durant, Kawhi Leonard, Kemba Walker and Jimmy Butler.
Some close to Durant see New York as a possible landing spot for the back-to-back NBA Finals MVP if he chooses to leave the Golden State Warriors, according to league sources.
Knicks president Steve Mills said Thursday that the club would take a conservative approach with its cap space.
"We're going to be prudent in how we use that room because we're still consistent in building this team through the draft and with young players," Mills said. "And when there is an opportunity to add a free agent, that certainly is one of the tools that we have in our toolbox."

Exactly. And talk about the outrage for a 7 year vet requesting a trade after years of stellar service vs the virtual silence when a 3 year gimp who missed nearly half his career due to injury demands a trade and is granted one with ease.
Shid.... they wanna be Highland Park

Euro's ain't white. They don't subscribe to that shit. This aint the mavs going all in on McBuckets or Grayson punk ass...these are foreigners who can play. It's easy to say get Black players, but who have we truly signed in free agency? They've tried, but it don't work out. Larkin, Mo Ager, DSJ, there's a graveyard of blacks the Mavs have drafted or tried to trade for and it don't work out.
Knicks are just poorly run man; and they have been that way for years; i dont see why any Superstar player would want to sign with the knicks...
And the thing is that if the Nets also has the same cap space, would it be better if a Durant go to the Nets than Knicks?
Im not sure if it would be better for him to go to any NY team; I just dont see the allure of playing in NY; it just doesnt make any sense to me...
Knicks would NEVER do that.
KP and his brother don't make sense to me
KPs complaints are "justified".. A brittle euro bitch who has now missed nearly two seasons of ball is "justified" in demanding a trade. But AD and nem are ruining the NBA for requesting a trade after 7 years with a incompetent franchise.
Kawhi Leonard is a fool for listening to his uncle and letting him run his business but KP listening to his dumb ass brother from a shithole euro trash country is "justified".
Looks like he might be out injured again..... Damn
Damn kp. Tgat Nicca tgat hit him must of had long arms.
Yall had this cac in the HOF a couple years ago.
they don't hear you fam
