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.

Like the fans iterated, someone who can help Doncic.

Bringing Walker can be a potential cause for redemption for the Dallas Mavericks. However, it is important to note that Kemba Walker is 30+ years old and is susceptible to injuries.

However, the fact remains that Kemba Walker is a veteran guard. He would be able to provide additional scoring depth alongside Doncic and Spencer Dinwiddie. Safe to say, the team and NBA fans have already pinned their hopes on him.
