Could Jimmy Butler and Kyrie Irving be teaming up on the Knicks in 2019?

Butler liked an instagram comment calling for him and Irving to join the Knicks. He also liked an instagram post earlier this week of him in a Spurs jersey.

The Knicks have already been connected to Irving, and should have enough salary cap space to sign two max players in 2019.

Aside from Butler and Irving that summer, there's also Kevin Durant, who the Knicks are expected to pursue if he opts out.
