Kenneth Faried Not Well liked in Denver, Should Rockets Be Interested?

Yeah, the Bulls are going all in this season and probably next with the group they have. Gibson is too important for them to let go of at this point.

I do think the Rockets would and should trade for Faried IF he becomes available (doubtful since he's the closest thing they have to a "face of the franchise").

However if the Rockets traded for Faried I think they are mostly banking on the hope that he improves greatly in the next couple of seasons, and they need to have some stat out there that shows that he can improve defensively. You are taking a bit of a risk if you are banking on him being your 3rd best player.

 

That stretch also would help Harden in that he can more easily drive to the hoop if it's not clogged. layup or foul...

 

I would love Gallinari.

While he is a charmin soft rebounder, he is actually a very solid defensive player. And offensively I think his game would really pop next to Harden.

 

Honestly rondo would be perfect for this team. He would give the edge and a guy like Beverly with the talent and legitimacy for us to truly embrace a tougher attitude.

 

Consider me super lost. Again, I think this notion of Faried as an elite defender is a fallacy borne of his hustle and motor.

 

Correct. He's got one of the highest motors in the league, and is the epitome of "garbage man" since he never quits working. However, he gets crushed by opposing PFs on a nightly basis, and is downright TERRIBLE in half-court defensive sets. I don't want anything to do with him on this team. In fact, given his style of play, and his contract, I think he's the exact OPPOSITE of what Morey is looking for.

 

Lol. You play too much 2K. Lawson is as much of a PG as Aaron Brooks.

How are Faried and Dwight going to score? They are essentially the same player.

ITT: people who watch NBA games and people who don't.

 

Getting Lawson would make this picture's unintentional comedic factor increase ten-fold:

Spoiler

 

We already have the #1 defense in the league. Any acquisition Morey makes needs to first and foremost improve our offense. I like Faried but I don't see him as someone who improves our offense. I would much prefer Millsap or Ryan Anderson

 

Those guys are not readily for sale but it's known that the Nuggets are in turmoil and having a fire sale. So let's talk about Nuggets players.

 

Every time I see faried playing he shows the knack to catch it 15 ft out and make a move to the bucket. His jumper is decent.. Could get Bette obviously

Ty Lawson is much better than AB at being a floor general. Agree to disagree? He would easily be the best floor general bc of his ability to probe and work the middle.. something which the rockets don't do but won't get anywhere if they don't start

 

Faried only played 19 minutes tonight, and it wasn't due to injury or foul trouble. Interesting.

 

He would be horrible for our spacing.

 

It's cause he flat out sucked tonight. 8 points/1 rebound tonight in 19 min. Yikes.

 

if all their players can be traded we should go after hickson. he wont mind coming off the bench and wont ask for a big contrac. faried wants to start and get 10+mil. mozgov is a 7footer. mcgee is already on a 12mil contract. i dont mind arthur, he's a good defensive big, kinda like a rich mans adrien. expiring too

 

Lol I can't take this post seriously

 

yeah nvm on getting faried for this team..

nuggets i do want are ty lawson, mozgov, and wilson chandler

 

Tell me how faried and his contract is more favourable than t Jones when healthy?

 

could just be because fakers went small with boozer out

 

Howard, Faried, and a healthy Clint Capela and Dmo Coming off the bench? Assuming we only loose jones. That wouldd work quite nicely. You would have almost an all Euro 2nd unit. LOL
