The NBA world is waiting with bated breath to find out which uniform Kyrie Irving will don when the 2017-18 season tips off.

Despite Irving's reported trade request, the Cleveland Cavaliers remain the favorite to keep the All-Star guard - according to oddsmakers - while the New York Knicks and Phoenix Suns have been given the best odds to land him via trade.

Team Odds
Cavaliers 1-1
Knicks 3-1
Suns 5-1
Celtics 7-1
Nuggets 9-1
Timberwolves 12-1
Spurs 14-1
Heat 20-1
Bucks 25-1
Hawks 33-1

The Knicks are reportedly willing to trade Carmelo Anthony and future first-round picks in exchange for Irving, which is likely why they possess the second-best odds.

The San Antonio Spurs - who are reportedly one of Irving's preferred destinations - opened with just the seventh-best odds, which could be due to their lack of assets.
