Kenneth Faried is still available at the right price as the NBA trade deadline looms, according to sources.

The Denver Nuggets were reportedly gauging the trade value of Faried before the season.

Faried is averaging 10.5 points and 7.6 rebounds this season.

Some of these titles are so weird..."Faried Still Available for Right Price"...I just picture the Denver Nuggets organization as the pimp and Faried standing on a sketchy corner, with other franchises' cars pulling up...asking for his services..."and how much is that going to cost me?"

This should be a stock Wire Tap canned posting if it isn't already:

Subject: [Insert Player Name] Still Available For Right Price

Body: [Insert Player Name] is still available at the right price as the NBA trade deadline looms, according to sources.

[Insert Player Last Name] is averaging [Insert Stat And Value 1] and [Insert Stat And Value 2] this season.

How much is a 2014 model Kenneth Faried going to cost me?

knicks better trade shump for him now

If raptors could make a play and get him as their starting 4. I doubt Denver lets Masai steal away a talent for cheap, they know his ways too well.

Also amir and 2pat are playing nicely. I still think we need better than those 2, but they're doing alright for now.

He's a great fit for the Raptors, but I just don't see how Toronto can make a deal work. Would Terrance Ross and Pat Patterson get it done? I doubt it. Toronto isn't trading Valunciunas.

Remember when people said he was better than Tristan Thompson?

I wouldn't trade Ross quite yet. Hes isnt even close to his full potential.

Kenneth Faried is better than Tristan Thompson

Faried
10.5PPG 54.7 FG% 7.6rpg 24 mpg

Thompson
11.8PPG 45.5 FG% 9.3rpg 32 mpg

He's shooting at a much higher percentage and his other stats are almost the same while playing almost a quarter less basketball per night and his team is much better as well.

edit Valid posted a more in depth statiscal comparison lol ninjad

Orlando magic would be a great fit for him

Trading Ross for Faried would be very very dumb. Maybe Patterson/Vasquez for Faried/Hamilton/Randolph + 2nd round pick? Faried/Hamilton/Randolph all have contracts that TOR would want to give them flexibility.

For the right price everyone is available..

The Pope is available for the right price. Not sure this is a particularly insightful story.

Kenneth Faried shouldn't have a price.

he's taking a lot of blame for a terribly put together team following a very foolish trade

Two wrongs don't make a right Tim Connoly!
