14 Trades Involving Kenneth Faried and a Western Conference Team
By Tim Hart
Shopping Faried in the West opens up a good amount of mutually beneficial, and surprisingly well-rounded trade options.
Teams still seem hesitant to talk trades for Faried. But, if one did, it seems likely to come from the West. Compared to the Eastern Conference Faried-trade options, the West looks surprisingly promising. If any one of these trades were to go down, the Nuggets would be, at the very least, looking at a fresh start at their PF position. In many cases, they would come out a better team. In a few, they could even become legitimate playoff threats!
Even after all of that, the most promising aspect of this analysis is that no Western team would really suffer from any of these trades, other than maybe the Spurs, who were actually projected to be unaffected after trading LaMarcus Aldridge for Kenneth Faried.
Nuggets fans should keep their finger’s crossed, as any one of these trades could boost their team’s success. And if no trade goes down, we can all await another season from the Manimal in Denver, one that will hopefully show a break out in production and reliability.
