I've always been really interested in Faried as I thought he would fit well with Harden. When he played for Denver I used to make tons of fake trades in the NBA trade machine for him. He was a guy who will just run, rebound, hustle and dunk....perfect for Harden.
The current version of Faried might not have the same pop, but his box scores from this year are promising. When the Nets play him (which is RARE), he basically bags a double double.
I hope he still has plenty left in his tank. If so, we just might have made a massive pickup.....if not he can just be another guy who makes the vet minimum to cheer for Harden when he goes into God Mode. Another nice job by Morey.
