Kenneth Faried has been one of the frequent named involved in the trade rumor mill and as per the latest reports, the Denver Nuggets player might be part of either Toronto Raptors or Cleveland Cavaliers for the 2016-2017 NBA season. However, it is believed that the Toronto Raptors is more interested in acquiring Faried.
In a report by Sportsrageous, Toronto Raptors will reportedly be able to complete their roster for the 2016-2017 NBA season if they acquire Faried from the Denver Nuggets as they want to have a better frontcourt. They Toronto Raptors is reportedly psyched about the fact that they were able to enter the Eastern Conference Finals for the 2015-2016 NBA season marking the first ever time that such occurrence happened.
Toronto Raptors' best players, DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry, helped the team go against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Toronto Raptors reportedly want to achieve being able to enter the Easter Conference Finals for this upcoming season again and possibly beating Cleveland Cavaliers. Toronto Raptors recently re-signed DeRozan to a five-year deal that cost them $145 million. Although DeRozan has been signed, Toronto Raptors want to make more changes in their roster since most teams have improved theirs.
It is believed that Faried will be acquired by Toronto Raptors as he is the power forward best fit with the team. Serge Ibaka and Paul Millsap have been linked to Toronto Raptors aside from Faried but the Denver Nuggets player is suggested to be the best option that Toronto Raptors should go for. If the trade will really take place, Toronto Raptors could trade their center, Terrence Ross, in exchange for Faried.
Faried is also being linked to Cleveland Cavaliers. iTechPost reported that Denver Nuggets might get Kevin Love if Cleveland Cavaliers will pursue Faried. Faried and Love's skills are reportedly at par so both teams would benefit from the trade especially due to the fact that Love has not been a good fit with Cleveland Cavaliers playing alongside LeBron James.
There are no confirmations about this trade rumor yet.
