Nuggets' Kenneth Faried could be heading to the Hawks

Denver Nuggets forward Kenneth Faried is reportedly drawing interest from the Atlanta Hawks.

What It Means:

Denver has a lot of potential expenses coming up--including an extension of Nikola Jokic--and are looking to shed Faried's $13.76 million cap hit. Atlanta has plenty of cap space to work with, but they will want compensation in the form of picks or players if a deal is to happen.

The seven-year veteran averaged 5.9 points and 4.8 rebounds in 14.4 minutes per game in 2017-18.
