Trade Him

A trade seems very unlikely. With all the trade rumors of Faried going around, it is apparent the Nuggets front office was searching for a suitable trade partner.

As of now you have to believe if it was going to happen it would have already happened.

The Nuggets are smart to stay away from trades that give them no real upgrade in talent  or personnel combinations. Other NBA teams also have to know about his defensive one-on-one struggles and this maybe what is preventing a move from these other teams.

There may be a need arise later in this NBA season. A move closer to the trade dead line could be better suited for both the Nuggets and a trade partner.

But what other options do the Nuggets have for Kenneth Farried that keep him on this roster.
