Mavericks add Kemba Walker to bolster ballhandling

In the case of Kemba Walker, it’s better late than never for the Mavericks.

They had pursued Walker in the summer of 2019, when the 6-0 point guard was an unrestricted free agent and coming off a season when he averaged 25.6 points per game.

The Mavericks were prepared to offer a maximum contract to pair Walker with a rookie of the year named Luka Donu010diu0107 and a recovering-from-knee-surgery Kristaps Porzingis.

That didn’t work out as Walker ended up in Boston.

On Tuesday, the Mavericks made it official, reeling in Walker by signing him to a veteran’s minimum contract.
