Dallas made Campazzo’s cut official: what options does Facu have for his future?

A little less than two hours before the start of the match between Dallas y Golden Statethe Mavericks confirmed the news that the specialized media they had already anticipated Monday around noon and that we Argentines did not want to hear: The franchise made official on its social networks the cut of Facundo Campazzo. Immediately, in the next post, Dallas also announced the hiring of Kemba Walker, who will replace the Cordoba point guard.

The four consecutive losses suffered by the Maverickswho after the victory this Tuesday against the Warriors were ninth with a 10-10 record, convinced the Texans to make a change and bet on the experienced American point guard, who was a four-time All Star and who He has steps for the Charlotte Hornets, Boston Celtics and New York Knicks on his CV.

The Argentine, former Real Madrid y Denver Nuggetswas incorporated on October 18, but had little prominence in the team of Jason Kidd: added an average of 1.3 points, 0.3 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game in 6.5 minutes on average.

After finishing the 2021/22 season, his second year in Denver, Campazzo did not have it easy to stay in the NBA. The Colorado franchise decided not to renew her bond, arguing that she was looking to put together a “greater” team. It should be noted that the 31-year-old point guard from Córdoba measures 1.78.

Thus, days before the start of the 2022/23 season, the chance of Dallas finally appeared, where Facu was going to have the chance to share a team with his great friend and former Real Madrid teammate, Luka Doncic. Nevertheless, Kidd never gave the Argentine great chances, let alone in the position and role in which Campazzo feels comfortable.

In this way, 41 days after his arrival, the news we did not want to hear was confirmedbut that already seemed practically decreed in the NBA world.

As confirmed by Dallas, the Cordovan may be claimed by any NBA team in the next 48 hours. After that period, he will be an unrestricted free agent. So far, the chances of continuing in the NBA seem practically nil and his name is beginning to sound strongly again in Europe.

The main candidate, logically, is the Real Madridthe team that Facu left in 2020 to start his path in the NBA and in which won the Spanish League three times (2015, 2018 and 2019) and the Euroleague twice (2015 and 2018).

EThe base still owes the Madrid entity some 2.5 million dollars from its exit clause, set at six. Campazzo was paying her with her last salaries before leaving, and later, with a percentage of her income in the NBA. In case of return to the club, that debt would be forgiven. One more point that could bring him closer to Merengue, where he is much loved.

Either way, it is not the only option for the Argentine because there are other Euroleague clubs that are also interested: Fenerbahce from Turkeycurrent leader of the continental competition, had offered months ago an agreement for three seasons and a salary mass that was around 9 million together of dollars.

They also sound the Anadolu from Turkey, the Milano (last in the standings) and the Partizan de Serbia, that he had already carried out polls to try to keep Campazzo’s file, who in the next few days will resolve his future.
