Dallas Mavericks Set to Sign 4-Time All Star, Waive Facundo Campazzo To Support Luka Doncic
As the Dallas Mavericks’ reliance on their best player is concerning, Luka Doncic needs assistance. The point guard must score at least 30 points for them to win a game, and each time he takes a break, the team’s performance suffers. Kemba Walker, a former All-Star, is close to joining the Dallas Mavericks. Walker’s agreement may be finalized as soon as this week, according to NBA insider Marc Stein. This season, Walker has not played in the league.
During the off-season, the former All-Star guard was exchanged for Jalen Duren’s draft rights by the Detroit Pistons. The former Hornets great was suddenly left without a team after the struggling Pistons decided to release his contract. They are searching for reinforcements because of this, and Kemba Walker, who is just awaiting the results of his physical, is reportedly close to being signed, according to NBA insiders.

Since losing Brunson to the New York Knicks this summer, the Dallas Mavericks have been clamoring for another offensive creative. The Mavericks have depended far more heavily than normal on superstar Luka Doncic without Brunson on the roster. The Mavericks’ offense has become sluggish as a result of this.
Walker, a four-time All-Star, was ecstatic to join New York in free agency last summer and play for his hometown Knicks. Walker played just 37 games and averaged 11.6 points and 3.5 assists per game, but the partnership deteriorated due to ongoing knee problems and a decline in performance.
