NBA As of July 1, he can become a free agent.
FAcundo Campazzo has not had one of his best seasons. A year in which he has not enjoyed many minutes and where the Colorado franchise, the Denver Nuggets, fell eliminated in the Playoffs at the hands of the champion Golden State Warriors. He is currently with his mind set on the selection that will dispute the qualifying window for the Basketball World Cup 2023 and for the Americup 2022.
Although Campazzo has already affirmed on several occasions that his intention is to remain in the NBA, things have become complicated with Denver’s latest movements in the Draft: The franchise chose as the 21st pick in the first round the point guard Christian Braun, 21, came from the University of Kansas, the last NCAA champion, which increases the number of players in the same position as Facu. Something that would cause him to become a free agent, if he doesn’t get a new contract from Denver, which would even allow him the ability to sign with any team in the NBA, even go back to Europe. “It wouldn’t be painful in the least, I don’t close any doors. Personally It will be naive of me to become obsessed with staying in the NBA. Maybe I don’t even have offers. Real Madrid was always a second home for me, but I have to wait. The truth is that I have no other option,” he said in an interview with TN.
The Argentine wants to continue in the best league in the world but on the condition of being happy: “I never let myself be carried away by money, it was always for my happiness, for the fact of fulfilling a dream. As happened when I moved from Real Madrid to the United States, it was my dream but I had to analyze many things: my family, what a loss… I tried to think as well as possible. I think staying in the NBA goes the same way. Outside of basketball, my family adapted very well to life in the United States, they were two very good years,” said Facu.
The Argentine Basketball Team is now concentrating on a new FIBA window, heading to the World Cup 2023. Under the orders of Nstor ‘Che’ García, in charge since September 2021, the Argentine team combines the most experienced stars such as Campazzo or Carlos Delfino with the young promises Leandro Bolmaro y Francisco Cffaro. “I’m happy to wear the national team jersey again, personally it’s not in my head to come to gain confidence or to gain pace of play. I come to contribute what the team needs and what the coach needs”, assured the point guard after training to a small group of media.
