Facundo Campazzo had earlier shared that he was grateful that the Dallas Mavericks signed him. He also discussed his relationship with Luka Doncic.
Walker’s return to the NBA
Does waiving him and signing Walker make the difference they hope to see? The Mavericks didn’t sign Kemba Walker back in October when the Detroit Pistons waived him off. But they chose to go with Campazzo. Some believe that Walker is a “backup plan to a backup plan to a backup for fixing what they somehow never anticipated would be a glaring need“. The need, of course, was an efficient ball handler.
