OCT 14 PISTONS TO WAIVE KEMBA WALKER; SHOULD MAVS HAVE INTEREST? According The Athletic’s Shams Charania, the Detroit Pistons are expected to waive veteran point guard Kemba Walker before the NBA season begins next week. Although the Mavs are expected to finalize their one-year deal with Facu Campazzo over the weekend, could they potentially be interested in Walker as well given their playmaking needs off the bench? Our official guess is “no,” given the Campazzo deal plus the fact that Dallas’ front office believes in Josh Green and Frank Ntilikina to fill in the gaps. And although rookie Jaden Hardy is more of a two guard than a point guard, he’s shown improvements in his decision-making abilities in training camp. A few years ago, the idea of adding Kemba Walker into the Mavs’ mix might have been more feasible. Now, though? It might just be adding too many cooks to the kitchen.
