Facundo Campazzo does not find solutions in Denver Nuggets, but the NBA is still in his future

Matches accumulate and Facundo Campazzo watch everything from the bench. He’s not going to give up, he never does. It is true that his future generates some uncertainty, however, in his planning there does not seem to be the slightest doubt about where he wants to be. It is true that the inactivity in the Denver Nuggets is “killing” him, as his coach Mike Malone said a handful of weeks ago, but beyond this panorama, the Argentine point guard is clear that his horizon is within the NBA . Even, he does not have in his calendar, for now, to return to Europe, therefore, he does not lose the illusion of having action in the postseason that is very close to beginning and in the worst case emigrate to another organization .

The moment that the Argentine base is going through is far from ideal beyond accepting his role within the Nuggets. Campazzo participated in 8 of the last 18 meetings with Denver and in four he spent less than two minutes on the court (in the game against the Golden State Warriors he entered for 11 seconds). Beyond these issues, the Spanish press assures that the Cordovan will continue in the NBA and that there are up to five franchises that would be interested in keeping his services.

The concrete thing, and beyond what they consign in Spain, the reality is that Campazzo’s wish is to continue in the United States and exhaust all the instances before returning to Europe. In recent months, some versions have circulated that he could be in the plans of the Minnesota Timberwolves, the San Antonio Spurs, the Milwaukee Bucks and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Although at the moment there are no certainties about that, some assure that his work team is analyzing different alternatives.

“Facundo Campazzo is further and further away from the Denver Nuggets, but not the NBA. The player has a marginal role in Denver and up to five franchises would be interested in signing him in the summer. They see it as a market opportunity to improve the defense and increase the intensity of their teams on the pitch”, published the Spanish newspaper Sport.

Several situations make us believe that Campazzo’s future will continue in the NBA and not in Spain, even, because in the last few hours Marca reported that Real Madrid made progress with some steps to let the Argentine know that he has the doors open for his return and that the Cordovan thanked them for that communication in which he told them that his intention is to continue in the league from United States.

Small signs suggest that Campazzo may leave the Nuggets, perhaps in a few more days, perhaps because some other team wants to use him to be part of the postseason. Although it is not so clear, since Michael Malone, the Denver coach who does not have him as part of the rotation, told Mike Singer, of the Denver Post portal, in the preview of the Nuggets vs. Charlotte Hornets that “Facundo Campazzo is going in the right direction.” These words make us believe that the coach wants to retain the Argentine for the playoffs in the event that he suffers a loss due to injury for those instances.

Campazzo’s departure from Denver is not a new topic in Colorado, as he was on the verge of leaving there when the last trade period in the NBA opened. Several names of teams appeared that had Campazzo under the radar, however, at that time no organization was willing to pay what was claimed for the Argentine when in a few months they could obtain it without paying. Even some exchanges did not take place because they were operations that included several other players.

This time everything will be different, since in June Campazzo ends his relationship with the Nuggets and will be a free agent, which allows him to negotiate freely with any organization. Some NBA specialists in the United States They assure that the Argentine is still in Denver simply because other teams chose to “wait.” What’s more, some are even encouraged to assure that Campazzo’s destiny may be close to two other Argentines: Leandro Bolmaro and Pablo Prigioni, player and technical assistant in the Timberwolves.

According to the Spanish newspaper AS, Campazzo’s representative team in the United States is already working on all fronts. They report that the main option is for the Argentine to continue in the NBA; to stay in the United States he must convince him of the contract: he must be well balanced between the money offered and the game options in a team that has aspirations to reach the playoffs.

It is a confusing situation that Campazzo lives, although for him something is very clear, the NBA is definitely on his horizon.
