With the spread of the epidemic, the world is shrouded in the shadow of the epidemic, in the past day, the league has a number of players triggered the safety agreement, of which the Nets a total of seven players triggered the safety agreement, which also led to the Nets and raptors game, only eight players on the court, the Nets rotation caused a lot of pressure, if it is not Durant on the 50 minutes to cut 30 + triple-double data, then this game, the Nets are really very uncomfortable.
Now most of the Nets players are in quarantine, and one of their core players, Irving, still has no signs of returning to the team, although there have been many revelations before, Irving and the relationship between the team is still good, whether it is the coaching staff or players, they all hope that Irving can return as soon as possible, but Irving is not vaccinated. In the case of no vaccination, Irving just does not have the heart to return to the court, then now the Nets management is open to Irving's transaction, if in the future for a period of time, Irving continues not to vaccinate, trading Irving is not impossible.
As the season progresses, teams begin to discover their own loopholes and continue to trade to complete reinforcements! Irving as the only player in the Nets who can't play, but also the Nets can get their hands on the assets in the market also has a good market, just today the New York reporter broke a very heavy news, that is, Irving's decline, it is likely to be the Lone Ranger of the West. Here's the specific news feed: According to New York correspondent Ian Begley, the Lone Ranger is interested in getting Kyrie Owen, and they have had an in-depth discussion with the Nets, and the chip that the Lone Ranger can offer is Christapus Porzingis! This means that the Lone Ranger intends to trade Porzingis for Owen.
Personally, I think the Nets must have suffered a lot from this trade. You must know that Irving is only 29 years old now, at the peak of his career, in terms of personal ability and physical fitness, Irving has no obvious defects! Last season, Irving had a very good season with the Nets, averaging 26.9 points, 4.8 rebounds, 6 assists, 1.4 steals and shooting 50.6% from the field in 35 minutes per game. Arguably, healthy Irving can definitely help the Nets reach the top of the championship.
Although Porzingis is a very good big player with a high probability of making up for the Nets' current lack of thick interior line, the probability of Porzingis being injured is really too large, it has been 6 years since entering the league, and Porzingis has only played 306 games so far. For some time in the past, Porzingis was either injured or on the way. This season, he averaged 29.8 minutes per game, although he was able to score 19.5 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 2 assists, as a big player, Porzingis's shooting rate was too bad, this season, his shooting percentage was only 45%, you know he is a big man with 2m21 inside line. Not to create damage on the inside, more like to shoot on the outside, Porzingis's playing style also limits him to become a superstar.
Although Porzingis has played very good statistics in many games this season, his offensive and defensive efficiency is not compatible with the current Nets. If the Nets want to trade Irving, they shouldn't just want a Porzingis, I think the Nets should consider taking the Lone Ranger's first-round pick, or other role players. Most fans are also not optimistic about the Nets' deal with the Lone Ranger, because Irving should choose to vaccinate if he releases to return to the court. And the Nets already have players such as Aldridge, Millsap, Griffin, Edwards, Clarkston and other players on the front line. Porzingis came here and would only cut their playing time!
After the deal was revealed, another reporter in the United States went to interview Cuban, but Cuban said that they did not discuss with the Nets? This makes people feel strange, you know, if the two sides have not discussed, then the New York reporters can not be empty, they can not break such news, from which it can be judged that the Cuban side is definitely telling lies, but it can also be analyzed to a specific news, that is, the Lone Ranger has no confidence in Porzingis! So far this season, the Lone Ranger has only achieved 14 wins and 13 losses, and in doncic's downturn, the Lone Ranger must change quickly. Cuban may be a good boss, but in terms of running the team, he also needs to learn more from the NBA's good team owners and general managers.
If this deal is successful, then I personally don't think Irving's combination with Doncic will be very competitive in the West. Do you think the Nets will finally make this deal with the Lone Ranger? Or will Irving really leave the Nets?
