With the NBA offseason coming to an end, the team is finalizing a training camp roster that can accommodate up to 20 players. in our calculations, Dallas Mavericks There is currently one open spot in Training Camp waiting to be filled.
Aside from the additional low improvement the Mavs made earlier in the summer Christian Wood And JaVale McGee, Dallas’ biggest need for the rest of the season, is a secondary ballhandler and playmaker off the bench, with Spencer Dinwiddie set to join Luka Doncic in the starting lineup.
The Mavs Front Office consists of Frank Nitilicina, Josh Smith, and Jaden Hardy Heading into the season, all of those guys still have a lot to prove to meet that particular need. Playable, but not necessarily a good ball handler. Also, Hardy is not yet a playmaker. Las Vegas Summer He plays big in the league.
With room to bring one more body into training camp, should the Mabs consider signing Kemba Walker to see what he left in the tank?
bleacher report They believe so… but they’re framing a trade for Dwight Powell and a 2025 second-round pick between the Mavs and the Detroit Pistons. With a contract buyout agreed on Thursday, multiple reports say no trade is required.
In 37 games as a starter for the New York Knicks last season, Walker averaged 11.6 points, 3.0 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 25.6 minutes per game. His shooting percentage from the field was only 40.3%, but he shot 5.4 tries per game and achieved an excellent shooting percentage of 36.7%.

That kind of production could serve the Mavs well if it could be moved to a bench role in fewer minutes. The idea of adding an unmatched 6-0 32-year-old guard might not be very appealing.
Anyway get a training camp flyer with a player that might help meet your needs nothing can hurtand giving Walker a final invitation is something Mabs should at least ponder.
