Should the Pelicans seek to pair Faried with Anthony Davis in the New Orleans front court? Not so fast.
Kenneth Faried has been on the trade block for months, thanks in large part to an impressive rookie season by Serbian sensation Nikola Jokic. It’s not often a second round pick finishes 3rd in Rookie of the Year voting to go along with an All-Rookie First Team selection but Jokic pulled it off. It makes sense that Kenneth Faried is very available and being shopped by the Denver Nuggets. Most recently Sam Amico reported that the New Orleans Pelicans and Oklahoma City Thunder are interested in acquiring Faried.
