Irving averaged a career-best 25.2 points last season. He also shot a career high 47.3 percent from the field and dished out 5.8 assists per game. He'd be an instant difference-maker wherever he lands.

According to ESPN's Ian Begley, the New York Knicks have "strong interest" in Irving, and BookMaker.eu agrees.

The Knicks are +350, or 7/2 favorites to trade for Irving, the best odds of any single team. You'd make $350 from a $100 bet. Carmelo Anthony could be on the move back to Cleveland in a trade, where he'd team up with LeBron James.

The team with the next best odds is the San Antonio Spurs, who are 4/1 to land Irving. According to Pounding the Rock, the Spurs could trade Tony Parker, Danny Green, Dejounte Murray, and a first-round pick for the 25-year-old in a potential blockbuster.

The Miami Heat are +550, or 11/2, to trade for Irving. According to Hot Hot Hoops, "A Heat trade [for Irving] would probably start with Goran Dragic and Justise Winslow." Miami also has Hassan Whiteside, Goran Dragic, Dion Waiters, and James Johnson to possibly offer.

The Minnesota Timberwolves are 7/1 to land Irving, the fourth-best odds of any single team. According to Bleacher Report, a trade to Minnesota would likely require a third team's involvement, but Jimmy Butler and Karl-Anthony Towns are reportedly recruiting Irving. 

The odds of Irving staying with the Cavs and competing for a fourth straight Eastern Conference title are 10/1.

Any other team, otherwise known as the "field," is 2/1.
