Kenneth Faried has been the topic of mock-trades for quite some time now, and if any were to actually go through, it would have to be one of these five.
The Denver Nuggets have sees some success with Kenneth Faried, as a player.
However, his low contribution towards the forward direction of the team has yielded a good amount of speculative trade talk. This has gone on for a couple years.
Along with his lack of development offensively, Faried is starting to fade into only a bench player for Denver as throughout the start of this preseason Coach Malone has opted to start Jurkic, a combination of Nikola Jokic and Jusuf Nurkic in the front court.
This duo could very well start the season, and it would almost solidify Faried as a bench player. Along with that, Faried might not be the best bench big. Most would prefer a Jokic/Nurkic and Arthur lineup for his ability to stretch the floor, a trait not held by Faried.
Now, as we head into the 2016-17 season, five realistic Faried trade-options emerge above the rest. If the Nuggets were to trade Faried right now, it would be foolish not to pick from one the propositions listed.
