The Nets went their separate ways. A few months ago, they made a strong announcement that They would not allow Irving to play in the NBA as a part-time player. Today, the Nets have a serious injury situation, and they have to overturn this decision. Irving can train with the Nets and can play in NBA away games.
Irving's refusal to get vaccinated has brought him a lot of criticism, and the Nets' decision to welcome his return has also sparked a heated discussion among fans. Nets owner Tsai Chongxin said: "We want to be more practical, I have been saying, I don't want this to become a political issue, winning, winning the championship is my only belief, this is where we are now." ”
Still, the decision was disgusting. Recently, Shaquille O'Neal criticized the Nets, arguing that the Nets should not recall Irving because they are the top seeds in the Eastern Conference. So far, the Nets have done well, so O'Neal doesn't think the Nets need to recall Irving.
"I hate it when people go against the grain on their positions. 'Oh, if you don't put your heart into it, you don't show up in the team. Now, the pandemic is here, and the Nets have several people quarantined. Oh, and we'll "let you play Mr. Owen." You can do this Owen and you can come back to Owen. I don't like that. ”
The Nets panicked for no reason. They sound like the 7th-placed team in the East. fool. You don't need him. ”
Many consider Irving to be an integral part of the Nets. Harden, in particular, has struggled since the start of the game, and he has been looking for his own position. After Irving's return, it will be easier for the Nets to win. Again, Brooklyn is number one in the East, so they're not bad.
According to Shams Charania, Irving could return in early January. His return will certainly increase the Nets' ability to fight in the East, but not everyone is happy with the Nets' contradictory statements.
