The seven-time NBA All-Star hinted at the fact that he is planning to stay with the Nets for the long-term.  

"There's no way I could leave my man 7 anywhere," Irving said of his teammate Kevin Durant. 

Back several years ago when Irving played for the Boston Celtics he had a now infamous quote saying that he would re-sign with the Celtics.
