A week after the start of the NBA, Facundo Campazzo continues without defining his future. And, despite the Turkish Fenerbahce offering him a juicy contract to get his services (reportedly the Istanbul team would offer him ten million euros for three seasons), the Argentine is still waiting for an opportunity that guarantee him to continue in the United States. Adhered. And, in the last few hours, an interested party has appeared.
Luka Doncic’s Dallas Mavericks look like a possible destination for the Argentine after his departure from the Denver Nuggets.
The information comes from Marc Stein, one of the journalists with the best contacts and sources within the NBA, who this Sunday spoke of the interest of the Mavericks for the Argentine point guard, although he made it clear that nothing is closed yet.
“Dallas continues to consider signing Facu Campazzo, according to league sources, but no firm decisions have been made,” Stein said on his Twitter account, where he has 1.4 million followers.
“Campazzo has said since leaving Denver that he hopes to stay in the NBA,” continued the reporter who also reported interest from Fenerbahce and Real Madrid.
“The Mavs entered the preseason with the intention of leaving a free spot on the roster and giving their contract players the first opportunity to grab the playmaker’s minutes when Luka Doncic and Spencer Dinwiddie are not playing. beginning of the regular season, Dallas could still choose to lead Campazzo or another veteran as point guard. “
If Campazzo had finally made it to the Mavericks, he would have reunited with Luka Doncic, an old teammate of his at Real Madrid. We will have to see if the offer to be third base with very little chance to add minutes or if he will finally choose the path of European clubs.
After playing for two years in the NBA, the Denver Nuggets have decided not to renew the contract of Facundo Campazzo who is now a free agent. The Colorado team claimed to have decided to cut the Argentine due to his size.
In his first season in the NBA (2020-2021), the point guard averaged 6.1 points, 2.1 rebounds and 3.6 assists with the Nuggets at an average of 21.9 minutes per game.
A year later, his presence in the rotation decreased and he scored 5.1 points, 1.8 rebounds and 3.4 assists in 18.2 minutes per game.
More surprising was the reduction in his playoff minutes.
In 2020-2021 qualifiers, the Argentinian averaged 27 minutes in 10 postseason games (in which he averaged 9.3 points, 3 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game) while last season he played only 3, 4 minutes on average in four games without practically leaving their mark in the statistics.
The countdown begins for Campazzo who, if he does not close with any NBA team, could return to Europe. The offers are on the table. And the strongest are the juicy one that the Turks of Fenerbahce made him or the occasion of Real Madrid, where he shone in such a way that he went his stepping stone to the league of stars.
