Released by the Denver Nuggets, Facundo Campazzo is still without a contract less than ten days before the NBA resumes. Announced in several European clubs, the point guard could still remain in the Great League. It is rumored that the Dallas Mavericks are interested in his case.
Does the love last two years between Facundo Campazzo and the NBA? Arrived at the Nuggets in 2020 after a brilliant career on the Old Continent, the Argentine leader is already at a turning point. Less and less used by Mike Malone last year, he received no contract extension from Denver and it is therefore free as air that he was able to enjoy his offseason. What plan for the future? According to the latest rumors at the moment, clubs in Europe like Real Madrid (his former team) or Fenerbahce are ready to jump at the chance. Great options to bounce back but the player still seems eager to stay in the NBA if given the opportunity. According to Marc Stein of New York Timesthis door could well open soon. In search of a potential reinforcement at the lead, the Mavs are considering the idea of adding Campazzo to their roster.
Dallas continues to weigh signing PG Facu Campazzo, league sources say, but no firm decision has been made.
Campazzo has said since leaving Denver that staying in the NBA is his hope. @webEncestando reports he has EuroLeague interest from Fenerbahce and former team Real Madrid.

Jalen Brunson left for the Knicks, Dallas would be well offered an additional creator to supplement a little Luka Doncic and Spencer Dinwiddie in the lead. Being able to count on a player like Campazzo as 3rd leader would be a great operation. The Albiceleste had 5 points, just over 3 assists and an interception in 18 minutes last year. It remains to be seen whether the player will be satisfied with this reduced role when he would undoubtedly have much more playing time in Europe. Positive point for the Mavs, they can count on the presence of Luka Doncic, who rubbed shoulders with Campazzo at Real for several seasons. Euroleague, Spanish championship, the two players had the opportunity to experience some nice moments in the Spanish capital. The possibility of teaming up again with his friend the Don’, a return to Europe with great fanfare, which side will Facu’s heart lean towards?
Coveted by big teams in Europe, Facundo Campazzo could still afford a little extra in the land of Uncle Sam. The Mavs plan to offer him a place, the opportunity to reform a duo that has long made the happiness of the Real Madrid.
