Is it better for Durant’s all-time legacy if this Nets team is NOT a juggernaut?
If he wins in Brooklyn on a 70-win team with Harden and Kyrie firing on all cylinders, it’s another super team chip.
But if he grinds to a ring on a 52-ish win team, he gets way more credit. – 9:47 PM

NYC mayor-elect plans to ‘revisit’ the vaccine mandate keeping Kyrie Irving out
NYC mayor-elect Eric Adams says he will reconsider the city’s vaccine mandate, which could have a big impact on the Nets.
The Nets are starting to hit their stride without Kyrie Irving, but there’s a possibility the superstar guard could be allowed to return to action in 2022 without receiving a COVID-19 vaccine.
New York City mayor-elect Eric Adams has announced that he plans to “revisit” the vaccine mandate in New York. If the mandate gets lifted, Kyrie Irving would be eligible to play in both home and away games.
“The mask mandates we should keep in place,” Adams said. “We need to revisit how we are going to address the vaccine mandates.”
Adams will take office on January 1.
It seems like the Nets would be on board with welcoming the showstopper back too. Before the team’s win against the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday, Nets head coach Steve Nash said “if the mandate changes, he’d be welcomed back for sure.”
The 29-year-old is still fresh off of a historical season where he averaged 26.9 PPG and became a part of the 50-40-90 club. The moment of truth will determine the guard’s future.

A change in the New York City Mayor’s office could pave the way for Kyrie Irving to return to the Brooklyn Nets in 2022. Mayor-elect Eric Adams plans to “revisit” the city’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate rules once he takes office, according to the New York Post. “We need to revisit how we are going to address the vaccine mandates. Now, I stated I did not want to Monday-morning-quarterback the mayor [Bill de Blasio]. This is his time to be the man, he has to make the decisions,” Adams said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” per the Post.

He added on CNN’s “New Day” that “I hope the mayor — and I am encouraging him to do that — to sit down with unions and come to a resolution. And if he doesn’t, if this is still going to January, I’m going to sit down with them and we’re going to get this resolved.” The Nets last month banned Irving, a West Orange native, from practices and games because he’s not vaccinated against COVID-19. The team has said he can only return as a “full participant,” meaning either he gets vaccinated or New York’s regulations change. Irving is projected to lose about half of his $35 million salary this season as a result, but still gets paid for road games. -via Newark Star-Ledger / November 3, 2021
Mayor-elect Eric Adams vowed to “revisit” the COVID-19 vaccine mandate for municipal workers when he takes office and reach a “resolution” on the matter, as he took an election victory lap Wednesday morning. During a series of media appearances the day after he handily beat Republican opponent Curtis Sliwa, the Democrat also repeatedly promised he wouldn’t step on Mayor Bill de Blasio’s toes regarding the controversial jab order. “We need to revisit how we are going to address the vaccine mandates. Now, I stated I did not want to Monday-morning-quarterback the mayor. This is his time to be the man, he has to make the decisions,” Adams said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” -via New York Post / November 3, 2021
As Kyrie Irving remains away from the Nets, refusing to adhere to the city’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate, the team has moved on without him. Tuesday afternoon, in an ironic twist, the Nets and Liberty teamed up with Gov. Kathy Hochul to offer free tickets to anyone who gets vaccinated at Barclays Center — which Irving has been unwilling to do. “I think the message is that the team itself supports vaccinations,” Hochul said, when asked directly about Irving’s decision not to get vaccinated. “The vast, vast, vast majority of their players are vaccinated, and they’re here to support making sure that members of the community are vaccinated. That’s the takeaway from today’s event.” -via New York Post / November 3, 2021
