NBA The Argentine base seems not to count for Michael Malone, in Denver
EThe Argentine base of the Denver Nuggets, Facundo Campazzo He did not have minutes in the Denver Nuggets loss at home (104-108) against the Utah Jazz and continues to have a bad streak. After not scoring in the last game and not being selected for the All-Star rookie game, the Argentine is experiencing his most difficult moments in the NBA.
His coach Michael Malone seems to be without him and his situation suggests that he will have to find a team. “I’m worried about Facundo Campazzo’s situation. Being pulled from the rotation with only a few days left before the trade line (the NBA transfer deadline) is not a good sign. The ones that stay in the bank these days are the ones that usually get traded. Be careful, I say this from experience, because it happened to me… It’s a very complicated situation for him,” said former NBA player Andrs Nocioni.
There are three franchises that could be interested in Facu and where he could land before February 10, the transfer deadline. Of course, for the next season he will be a free agent and his representative has already stated that he wants to continue in the league. Minnesota Timberwolves It would be perfect for Campazzo to have Leandro Bolmaro there and Pablo Prigioni as assistant coach, though it’s possible his spot would be at backup point guard behind D’Angelo Russell.
Another possible destination would be Indiana Pacers where there could be an exchange of players like Torrey Craig or Justin Holiday and where he would have more options to play minutes with starting point guard Malcolm Brogdon out. The Sixers option is the most complicated. If Denver somehow wanted to land Ben Simmons and Tyrese Maxey at the same time, the package would be big, and if it includes Campazzo, it would undoubtedly take place on the perimeter, and play another star center: Joel Embiid.
