    Liked him when he was here. Add him and it will just add more players who are seeking for redemption. I love it

    you can run pnr with him. Looks like the Nets want to pnr teams to death with strong energy players

    Rockets could be a top 3 seed if they would just sign the manimal, Jeremy Lin, and Dmo

    yes, so we can see him not defend and not get anything out of the PnR because none of our guards are even close to Harden’s level when it comes to running it and passing it to the big on the roll

    I have no idea why anyone says we "underutilized" him, yea we underutilized him so much, he ended up in China.

    he’s just the latest in a long line of marginal, borderline NBA caliber players to get overhyped on here

    CF is the place where scrubs get exalted and stars get sh*tted on

    Nah.

    He was a Kirkland brand version of Capela, capable of everything Clint did, he did somewhat worse, and Capela fared pretty badly with the Warriors in 2019.

    How would Faried've fared? V badly.

    The summary of his career is: all the athleticism, over exaggerated hustling, rebounds and dunking mathematically do not make up for the amount he leaks in defense and his positioning in general when he is not part of the play.

    You might enjoy or FEEL good when watching his highlights, but he is a negative for your team. Keep your emotions out of it. That's why he's not in the league, and only the most desperate (and cheap) teams would consider him at the very minimum salary.

    Peak Faried was probably Nuggets Faried. If other teams are interested, sure why not.

    In terms of energy and pushing the pace, he would fit nicely with our youth and Wall.

    There's a lot to lose, mostly, a lot of games left to lose.

    Bring in the worst viper, with the most ineffective venom and the least heat-sensitive pits.

    Faried? Really? There goes our shiny new rep as a team that plays tough defense.

    Get Thon Maker for defense, rebounding and lobs (if someone on our team could figure out how to throw them).

    Thon Maker would help our ball handlers effectiveness

    He produced every time I watched him play for us. He could've been a big factor, but Dantoni iced him in the playoffs.
