The base Facundo Campazzo had his debut with Dallas Mavericks in what became its third season in NBA. After a long wait, Cordovan was finally accepted by the Texas franchise and David Carro, one of those who managed his landing on the team, revealed unpublished details about how the negotiations took place. though, He admitted that there were twenty calls to the Los Angeles Lakers and even an interest from the Golden State Warriors, but in the end they leaned on Dallas.

“The problem in the beginning is that the market is quite abnormal. Facu told us that his priority 1 is the NBA, 2 the NBA, 3 the NBA, and 4 and Europe, whether Madrid or another club.. We followed that premise, we have several interested franchisees, about which we are very optimistic, but then the hiatus due to the possible trades of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving stopped everything“Carro said in conversation with Basketball Plus.

with the cart expressed strong interest from the Lakersalthough later Angelenos gravitated toward German Dennis SchroederY another from the golden statewhich is tied to the future of Andrew Iguodala: “Nothing happened, a month and a half passed, almost two of so many waits, everything was rearranged and the options began to fall. Golden State is there, depending on whether or not Iguodala returns. If he doesn’t come back, Facu can enter. Iguodala came back and it never happened. With the Lakers they came to talk 20 times, but in the end they decided on Schroeder, and others.“.

How Facundo Campazzo ended up with the Dallas Mavericks

Almost at the end of the cicadas and about two days before the season begins, Dallas finally stepped up and expedited Campazzo’s arrival. However, Carro revealed that the interest of the Mavericks -and more precisely of their coach, Jason Kidd– it’s been a while coming: “The issue with them is, due to the salary cap and taxes, they were the eighth biggest spenders, which made the operation more complicated.. But JA month after Jason Kidd requested the player, General Manager Nico Harrison was convinced that Facu was the player they needed. for what they want and Luka Doncicclearly being the superstar of the team, I know what I can contribute“.

So, the key to everything is Kidd, as Carro added: “TThey obviously wanted a point guard and the one they liked the most was Campazzo. The idea we have is, because Kidd is a point guard with experience, Facu is a point guard. That’s why we’re betting on Dallas. Luka Doncic will handle the ball a lot, but there will be a second unit where Facu can play on base. (Spencer) Dinwiddie knows how to play shooting guard and is perfect with Facu“.
