Kyrie Irving: we already named a city after him!

I saw a lot of uproar over this answer on Reddit where all the teenagers basically concluded Kyrie is as good as gone based on this.

Is it me? Am I the only one that thinks this is a perfectly acceptable answer and doesn't give any indication on whether he wants to stay or leave? 

Like of course if he was affirmative in saying "I want to do everything I can to stay here" would be the best case scenario in normal circumstances. But this is Kyrie we're talking about here. He's said that exact same line to 3 other teams and then left as soon as he could.

Woj said it best, if the Mavs pay I think Kyrie stays. I don't see why the Mavs wouldn't pay. Still don't understand the doomer takes though (not that anyone here has had doomer takes).

I think he stays if we pay, and there is very little reason not to pay.  The most likely danger is that he decides to ask out after signing the contract, but the reality is the return for a star on long term contract is going to be more than what we had to pay for a rental and what we would get in an S&T.
