Big move, a star joins Luka Doncic at the Mavs!

In a bad patch for a few weeks, the Mavericks need to revive by the end of this year 2022. Like other teams, the front office is logically probing the market, and has just recorded a new acquisition. A coming that Luka Doncic should probably appreciate.

With a record of 9-10, the Mavericks find themselves in a rather difficult situation. Aid is sorely needed for Luka Doncic, which nevertheless continues to align the services worthy of an MVP. A significant lack of speed for the Texas franchise, always on the lookout for the slightest opportunity on the market. This is why Dallas has just recorded a newcomer: that of Kemba Walker.

New arrival noticed for Luka Doncic

Undesirable since his time with the Knicks, then released with the Pistons, the leader had been looking for a base for a few months in the NBA. The former Hornet showed his limits in defense, while chaining shooting problems. He hopes to revive in Texas alongside Doncic, no doubt to boost Jason Kidd’s player rotation. One more competitor for Frank Ntilikina.

The Mavericks are nearing a deal to sign former All-Star guard Kemba Walker, league sources tell me.

Marc Stein: “The Mavericks are approaching a deal to sign former All-Star Kemba Walker. »

The deal has not yet been finalized, but the two parties should quickly reach an agreement in the coming hours. For his last campaign with the Knicks, remember that Walker averaged 11.6 points and 3.5 assists, but only 40% shooting, as well as a very permeable defense. Let’s hope he has regained his luster during this hiatus.

At least they are trying something instead of just sitting there

At least they’re trying something rather than doing nothing

Imagine having this much faith in your defense

imagine having so much confidence in your defense

With 4 games lost in a row, the Mavericks decided to act. No question of doing nothing by leaving Luka Doncic too lonely. Kemba Walker comes to the rescue to give the bench a little boost, at least in the perfect scenario. We ask to see the result now.
