Kenneth Faried is they type of player that every team needs. He does the little things and is very young. Because of those, his trade value is pretty high should the Nuggets want to move him.
According to reports, Denver is gauging trade value for Faried. That may be unpopular, but if there’s ever a time to move him, that’d be now.
Multiple sources around the league have reported in the last month that Denver has put out targeted feelers on Faried, gauging his value and demanding very good return. The Nuggets, for their part, deny they’ve put Faried’s name out there at all. Faried is entering the third season of his four-year rookie deal, and given his per-game numbers, he figures to get paid on his next contract. If the Nuggets believe Faried has hit his ceiling, and that his game lacks the all-around polish Brian Shaw has said he wants from his big men, it would make sense for Denver to see what it can get.
