On November 16, the NBA regular season continues. Regarding the trade prospects of Mavericks star Davis, the famous reporter Ashish Mathur wrote an analysis. He said that many teams are interested in acquiring him, but the prerequisite is that Davis needs to lose weight first.

Since being traded to the Mavericks last season, Davis has only played in 14 games for the team. He has only played in 5 games so far this season, averaging 20.8 points, 10.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.2 blocks per game, shooting 52% from the field, 27.3% from the three-point range, and 74.2% from the free throw line. With Nico Harrison leaving the team, Davis is expected to be traded by most people. His contract is worth $54.1 million this season, $58.5 million next season, and has a player option worth $62.8 million in the 2027-28 season.

Ashish Mathur pointed out that many teams are interested in acquiring Davis, and the Mavericks will work with the Davis team to discuss whether to trade in the middle of this season. However, although multiple teams are interested in him, they all believe that Davis needs to lose weight.

The Mavericks released the team's season roster in September this year. Davis weighed 268 pounds (approximately 122 kilograms) when he reported for training camp, which was 15 pounds (approximately 6.8 kilograms) more than when he played for the Lakers last season. Many teams interested in acquiring Davis believe that Davis needs to lose weight so that he can regain his previous speed and become a more mobile threat.

It is worth mentioning that an important reason why the Mavericks let Doncic go in the middle of last season was due to problems with Doncic's weight management, which eventually led to Doncic's constant injuries and caused the Mavericks to give up. Now a similar problem has appeared on Davis.

Which team do you think the Mavericks will eventually send Davis to? Welcome to give your opinions in the comment area.
