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.

Anyone that claims to know what Kyrie is really thinking is lying. He publicly said he wanted to stay in Cleveland, Boston, and Brooklyn at some point in his tenure at each and promptly left all of them eventually. Even if he says he wants to stay here, it means nothing. In the same way, this means nothing. It's anyone's guess what he'll be feeling 5 months from now after a playoff run. I think as long as Kyrie doesn't do anything insane, the Mavs will offer him whatever contract he wants. And as long as he gets the contract he wants, it's not a bad bet that he'd accept. But you just won't know until it happens.
