Kyrie has in the past praised KP. He would have wanted to have played with him.

"Every team was under consideration," Irving said. "But obviously, New York held a special place for me, just being from Jersey, and obviously envisioning myself as a free agent and ultimately taking a meeting and playing for (David Fizdale) and the great young core they had here, and thinking about playing with (Kristaps Porzingis), that was a big thing before I made my decision to sign back -- to plan on re-signing back, I don't want to get in trouble, plan on re-signing back with Boston. But yeah, of course. New York was a strong consideration."

Celtics guard Kyrie Irving told Knicks star Kristaps Porzingis earlier this season that he "would love to play" with a player like him, he said during NBA All-Star weekend.
Irving also said he sent "well wishes" to the Knicks' star after he suffered a season-ending ACL injury.
"You just hope that mentally he's able to jump over those hurdles," Irving said, according to Newsday. "It's tough coming back and knowing the process and kind of having that window that you're trying to hit in terms of how long you have to wait in order to do certain things. But I know he's always in the gym; he's always a hard worker. So I wish Porzingis nothing but the best . . . He's so versatile."
