Although many fans were previously disgusted by Irving's non-vaccination, now that Harden has been traded, they have felt Irving's importance again. The good news is that the Nets are on the verge of getting a full version of Irving. It is reported that the mayor of New York has said that New York plans to gradually eliminate the mandatory requirements for vaccines in the coming weeks.
According to the original regulations, Irving was not allowed to play in the home game because he was not vaccinated, so that the Nets lost a giant core of combat power in vain. Now that the policy is expected to be lifted, Irving is likely to be able to regain his "free reins" and play all games for the Nets in mid-March. Irving's return to the starting lineup, coupled with Simmons and Durant will also return by then, the Nets, whether it is the combat effectiveness of the starting lineup or the depth of the team's lineup, looking at the whole league, it is difficult to see a team out of the right.
So don't look at the Nets stumbling and struggling now, wait until all the dust settles, and the biggest "potential stock" will become the champion favorite. Of course, the most practical goal now is to get out of the "play-off" lap and catch up with the 2.5-game difference in the top six games in the East, and get ready for a real big show in the playoffs.
