Looks like it would make some sense in that the Knicks would get help in the frontcourt with Chandler out and the Nuggets already have J.J. Hickson who is pretty much the same type of player as Faried.

I like Faried as a player but he really doesnt add what they need. He cant defend bigger post players and struggles with wings as well. He also has no offensive game outside of putbacks and dunks. Shumpert for whatever reason seems to have landed on the trading block despite being the Knicks only above average defensive perimeter player. It isnt going to help the Knicks much IMO especially when Chandler comes back. The Knicks are so poorly managed that you get to assuming that any deal they make is going to be a poor one. Why Dolan looked at this roster and thought championship is beyond me. They are old, slow, dont particularly play smart or hard, cant shoot or rebound. Thankfully Brooklyn isnt playing well either though I can rarely watch since they are blackd out on League pass in South Jersey.
