After his departure from the Denver Nuggets, where he was reduced to a secondary role by coach Mike Malone, the Argentinian guard is firm in his decision to return to the States, despite the interest from powerful EuroLeague clubs. The information is that the Dallas Mavericks intend to sign him.

In an interview with the 'Uno contra uno' web radio in Argentina, the player's agent, Claudio Villanueva, explained that he's trying to fulfill Campazzo's desire to play in the NBA and that they will wait 48 hours for an offer from Dallas.

Marc Stein of the Dallas Morning News recently reported that the Mavs came to camp hoping to leave a roster spot open and give players under contract the first shot at getting some playing time as Luka Doncic's and Spencer Dinwiddie's backups. With the regular season over, Dallas could still choose to bring in Campazzo or another veteran as a third guard.

For his part, Doncic seems excited in the possibility of re-joining forces with the 31-year-old guard, with whom he won the EuroLeague in 2018. The two have established a great friendship, so much so that whenCampazzo signed for the Nuggets in 2020, Doncic said, "I'm happy for him, because he made it to the NBA. He deserves it. I'm going to root for him in every game except when he plays against us because he's unbearable defensively."

This week could be key in Campazzo's future. The new NBA season will begin on October 18 and time is running out. For the time being, Europe is the player's Plan B.

Real Madrid are still negotiating to bring him back, just as they did with his fellow countryman, Gabriel Deck. Facu still owes money to the Spanish club that paid the exit clause to release him in 2020, but Madrid's offer would be noticeably lower than others from the Old Continent.

Fenerbahce also appeared with an incredible contract that would be around 10 million dollars for three seasons. In any case, the Mavs seem to be Campazzo's last chance of staying in the NBA.
