Since the start of the season, the Irving vaccine incident has continued to plague the Nets. Due to new York's vaccine restrictions, Irving was unable to play in home games or even attend training. The Nets are also very angry about Irving's behavior, and many of the team's generals have expressed their dissatisfaction with Irving, and it can be said that Irving's departure from the team is almost a certainty. The crux of the matter now is that Owen's delay in getting vaccinated will greatly reduce the value of his trade, after all, no one can tolerate such a time bomb in the team.
Another scruple is that the new mayor of New York will officially take office in two months, then if he lifts the vaccine restriction, Irving can play again, after all, the Nets can still lead the team to the playoffs by relying on Durant and Harden, and the Nets can wait for a while, wait for the price to sell, and wait until after the deal deadline to make a decision.
However, today's news is that the Nets' dream may be in vain. Today, New York City's newly elected mayor, Eric Adams, said in an interview that New York would not change their regulations. And the last thought left for the Nets was officially broken.
There have been teams communicating with the Nets before, including the Houston Rockets, and according to reporters, the Rockets' deal plan is to send Wall and big forward Wood in exchange for Irving plus a rookie or draft pick. Wall is a legacy of the Rockets' trade with Westbrook, and although the state is not as good as before, he can still score 20.6 points and 6.9 assists last season, and his skills are still there. And Wood is even more hot, known as the small thick eyebrows he ushered in an outbreak this season, averaging 19.9 points per game, 12.5 rebounds, interestingly his number is also no. 35, if he joins the Nets, the Nets' internal problems will be solved, and the Nets will once again become a strong contender for the championship.
