Today, New York Mayor Eric Adams announced plans to phase out mandatory vaccinations in the coming weeks. That means Irving can play at home, and the Nets' odds for winning the title have changed.
According to Maggie Gray, after the mayor of New York announced the decision, the Nets' championship odds changed from +600 (bet 100, if you win with 700) to +550 (bet 100, if you win with 650), which is more optimistic.
The Nets were encouraged by the news, with general manager Sean Max speaking out in support of Adams' approach, and Nash revealed that Irving had shown a sense of focus and urgency in training, and he was excited about his upcoming full-time appearance.
From being allowed to work part-time by the Nets to giving the green light in New York City, Irving seems to be the ultimate winner. In fact, the reason why New York has changed the current epidemic prevention policy is, in the final analysis, the word interest. Eric Adams did not compromise with Owen, and the power of capital forced him to do so.
Because of injuries and vaccine problems, the Nets' record has fluctuated, as the only big three team in the league, they have disintegrated before they have won the championship, the outside world is waiting to see the Brooklyn joke, if New York does not adjust the policy, then public opinion will drown the city.
Through the Harden trade, the Nets' chemistry has been enhanced to a certain extent, and the new signings have helped the team stop the decline before the All-Star, and when Irving returns on March 15, the Cosmic Net may officially take off.
