From @TimCowlishaw (and the editor who chose the Brunson-Walker lead photo has quite a sense of humor):
Kemba Walker makes the Mavericks better, but is he a real difference-making addition? dallasnews.com/sports/maveric… – 12:02 PM

Kemba signing doesn’t move the needle much, but I like it as a low risk move that could have benefits on and off the court. – 11:37 AM

Souces confirm, In: Kemba Walker, 32. Out: Campazzo. Campazzo played 3 minutes in Milwaukee last night and was told afterward of his impending release.
Walker’s knee issues are well-chronicled, but the Mavs’ need for a third creator has been glaring from moment Brunson left. – 10:17 AM

On @Adrian Wojnarowski Pod earlier this month, Kemba Walker said he was training in Florida to prepare for a bench contributor role. Walker: “I just know that I have the ability to help someone, to help a team. I know I can still play basketball at a high level.” open.spotify.com/episode/6GSId6… – 9:09 AM

Re: Kemba Walker: The talent isn’t a question, it’s the knee. I previously discussed the injury with @Jared Weiss in 2020. Casey Smith and his crew are one of the best medical groups in the NBA and should be up for the challenge. theathletic.com/2235643/2020/1… – 8:48 AM

I think Kemba is worth a look in Dallas. I’ve got some concern with both him and Luka on the court defensively. If anything I think it could be key for the non-Luka minutes, him and Chris Wood project to be a good PnR duo. Kemba played with Wood in Charlotte in 2017 – 8:39 AM

Hornets fans will have to wait until the end of the season to see Kemba Walker play against his former team. Charlotte play Dallas in a Home/Away back to back on March 25th/26th. pic.twitter.com/35xk2xR9XJ – 8:26 AM

Mavs set to sign Kemba Walker, as @Marc Stein reported. Interested to see what Walker has left. Just has not been the same since the second half of his first season in Boston. Still has some offensive firepower but will need to defend to stay on the floor. – 8:14 AM

More on this storyline
Brad Townsend: I’m told the Mavs have had Kemba Walker as a back-burner option for at least a couple of weeks. Interestingly to some of us here in DFW, not entirely unlike the Cowboys have monitored adding similarly knee-questionable Odell Beckham Jr., who also might well sign this week. -via Twitter @townbrad / November 28, 2022
Brad Townsend: Mark Cuban to me on addition of Kemba Walker: “We wanted to add some flexibility to our offense. Like last year at this point, we have great shot quality, particularly from the 3, but we have struggled to make enough of them. Kemba will give J-Kidd more offensive flexibility.” -via Twitter @townbrad / November 28, 2022
The Mavericks would have to create a roster spot to sign Walker, which is most easily be done by waiving Facundo Campazzo. The Argentinean guard, who played alongside Mavericks star Luka Dončić at Real Madrid in Spain, has been used sparingly in seven games since Dallas signed Campazzo to a non-guaranteed contract just as the season was starting in mid-October. -via marcstein.substack.com / November 28, 2022
Eddie Sefko: Tim Hardaway Jr. (right foot soreness) is out tonight. Jason Kidd was mum on who might inherit those minutes, but some will likely go to newcomer Facu Campazzo, who is available after visa issues were resolved. -via Twitter @ESefko / October 25, 2022
Callie Caplan: Jason Kidd pregame about Facundo Campazzo possibilities tonight: “The way he plays [fast] is something that we need, we haven’t had. … Another guy we trust and maybe we can also play him late [and] being able to use Luka in different situations.” Tune in, Argentina. -via Twitter @CallieCaplan / October 25, 2022
