Will Nuggets Dish Out Faried’s Price Tag?

Keeping (Kenneth) Faried in the fold will cost the Nuggets, but figuring out where he falls might be tougher.

Add in his standing on the Nuggets’ roster — he’s the team’s second-best player — and his exploding box-office appeal, and the price tag could fall right in that $10 million to $11 million per-year range. Modestly. He will be in search for more, no doubt.

It might be difficult for the Nuggets to justify to themselves shelling out a contract to Faried worth more than Ty Lawson’s $12 million average, however.
