According to TA Cavaliers reporter Joe Vardon, before Irving decided to join the Nets in 2019, the Nets were worried that Irving's health and some other behaviors would become a distraction factor in the team's training camp, and have discussed it internally — if this all comes true, how they will respond.
Joe Vardon said the Nets learned of Irving's reputation from sources in Cleveland and Boston before getting Irving, and made worst-case plans and plans.
But when Irving came to the Nets in the fall of '19, he didn't do what the Nets had feared, and everything he did was like the superstar people expected. He did his best in training, never missing a video conference, and the comments at the meeting were constructive until Irving suffered another injury.
After suffering a shoulder injury, Irving's honeymoon period with the Nets ended, and a Nets management member told Joe Vardon: "He always behaves strangely when he is injured, he will be out of control, he doesn't trust the team's medical team at all, you can't point fingers at him. ”
