Did the Mavericks complete the stupidest trade in history? He already had physical problems before the thick eyebrow injury: his flexibility is obviously not as good as before

On November 8, the Mavericks traded Doncic for thick eyebrows. Is it the stupidest trade in history? According to The Athletic reporter Clark, before the Mavericks announced last week that Big Eyebrow would miss several games due to a calf injury, many NBA insiders had noticed that his movement speed had declined.

Clark wrote: "Many scouts and coaches from other teams revealed that in the first four games of the Mavericks season, they found that the physical flexibility of the thick eyebrows was obviously not as good as before."

The Mavericks had 1 win and 3 losses in the first 4 games of this season. During this period, the Mavericks averaged 25 points and 11.8 rebounds per game. On October 30, in the first quarter of the team's game against the Pacers, Nong Mei left the game early due to "soreness in his left calf."

On November 1, the Mavericks announced that Big Eyebrow would miss at least two more games, and so far, he has missed four consecutive games. The Mavericks' record so far this season has dropped to 2 wins and 7 losses, ranking last in the Western Conference. In the four games that Big Eyebrow has missed, the Mavericks have not won a game and suffered four consecutive losses. On the other hand, the Lakers currently have 7 wins and 2 losses, ranking second in the Western Conference.

After Big Eyebrow was traded to the Mavericks in the middle of last season, he only played 9 games for the team due to injury that season. At the same time, this is also the second consecutive season that the core players of the Mavericks have caused heated discussions due to physical problems. Doncic had previously received similar attention due to his physical condition before being traded to the Lakers.

The reason why thick eyebrows have become the focus of heated discussion is because he weighed 268 pounds (approximately 121.6 kg) when he reported to the Mavericks training camp, which is an increase of 15 pounds (approximately 6.8 kg) compared to his weight at the Lakers training camp before the start of the 2024-2025 season.

During the offseason this year, Davis spent some time recovering from eye surgery. The surgery was used to treat an eye injury he suffered in April and will require him to wear goggles for the remainder of his NBA career.

Mavericks head coach Kidd said after the second game of the 2025-2026 season that eye surgery had affected Davis' physical training plan this summer. At the time, he also said, "I let him play for 36 minutes last night, hoping to help him regain his physical condition."

Now, Kidd has to wait for his injured eyebrows to return to the team. Only in this way can the team continue to advance his physical recovery plan, but it is still unknown how long the "vitreous constitution" of thick eyebrows can easily be injured.

What worries Mavericks fans is Doncic's hot state. Although Doncic, who has lost weight so far this season, has only played 5 games, his performance of averaging 40 points, 11 rebounds and 9.2 assists per game will only make these fans feel that the Mavericks have become the enemy.
