Owen tested positive and was isolated! Can he come back, is it Durant and Harden who pressure the Nets?

Original/Oxygen is a metro

On December 18, the Nets officially announced that Irving would lift the ban, citing the nets' desire to win the championship, and there are too many players affected by injuries and viruses at this stage. For example, on December 19, the Nets' game with the Magic, the Nets had nine players trigger the league's health and safety agreement, including the Big Three: Durant, Harden and Irving, as well as Millsap and Aldridge, two stars, in addition, Bembry, Johnson, Brown and Carter were also recruited. Owen's name is prominently listed, because Owen just reported that he received a nucleic acid test, and he was positive before training and needed to be isolated.

On December 19, according to the Nets reporter, Irving's nucleic acid test result was positive, so the health and safety protocol was triggered and needed to be isolated. Irving still doesn't want to get a vaccine, which is actually unacceptable to the Nets. So why did the Nets suddenly change their attitude? What about getting Owen back? They had always insisted on cohesion and did not want to give Owen privileges. And without Irving, the Nets are also the first in the East, and they believe that Durant and Harden can win the championship.

There are three main reasons. The first Nets lineup is becoming more and more incomplete, as mentioned above, the Nets' recent game, there are 9 players absent, so you are the first in the East, they can not even play the magic of the bottom of the strategic mess league rankings. Second, Durant has been playing for too long, Harden's performance has been pulling his crotch, and it is really difficult to stand without Irving. Third, the Nets may have to trade Irving and need to let buyers inspect the goods, so make an exception to let Irving comeback. Fourth, Durant and Harden put pressure on the Nets.

This fourth reason is reported by the media. Nets reporter Matthew Brooks wrote on December 19 revealing several details of Irving's lifting of the ban. First, the Nets have been trying to lift Irving since mid-December. Second, at least one of Durant and Harden's agents had a conversation with the Nets' general manager, and the Nets' general manager and boss ultimately considered the decision for Durant and Harden. Third, the Nets general manager felt like he was forced after the conversation, after all, Harden had not renewed his contract.

However, the Nets spokesman denied such a conversation, and the Nets general manager Max was interviewed, and it seems that he does have some ideas about the follow-up to Irving's unblocking. Max said the team was really too important, but Irving's comeback has informed all the players that they all support the decision. But Max told Irving not to vaccinate that there are some security risks for Irving not to vaccinate, and that the NBA is currently invaded by the new crown, and that he is doing so is a risk to both Irving and the team.

The Nets still want Irving to vaccinate, and Max said it's not appropriate to talk to Irving about it now, and needs him to integrate into the team and slowly guide him. Max also said that in the past, banning Irving was the best decision, and now lifting Irving is also the best decision, the environment is different, and he betrayed and made some decisions. Nets owner Tsai Chongxin also had something to say, he said succinctly: I have been saying, I don't want this to become a political issue. Winning is my only belief, and that's the status quo.
