re: Pels Interested in Faried?

Not too sure people realize what the Nuggets roster looks like. The Pels have nothing, short of Davis and future 1sts that would interest them. They won't take the 3 for 1s people are tossing in this thread.
They could take on Asik or Evans into cap space, but will require sending out future 1sts. Faried is a good player on a great contract, he's not being moved in dump unless they get multiple picks back.
With Faried and Holiday's cap hold, they would be roughly around $98M guaranteed going into next summer. So they cap themselves out of FA and lose draft picks. Why the Pels, after the past 3 years, would play that tune again is beyond me.
I guess the question is what ceiling would people realistically expect for this team with Faried?

Corndeaux that's what I was trying to say but not doing a very good job of.
For the cost associated with Faried (3 years and $36m approximately) left on his contract and with the roster they have there I don't see it happening other than us facilitating a deal elsewhere. Even then I'm not so sure.
Ajinca, Asik, Pondexter, Cunningham, draft picks are our only true pieces we can depart with. I exclude Holiday because the team has been very adamant that he's in their future plans and Evans because of injury. I don't see Denver wanting much, if any, of that. They have a lot of guys at the 5 on very good deals right now.
Faried, if dealt, will most likely be moved to a LAC or something if they want to give up Blake or Miami if Bosh pushes to be moved. Just speculation on my part there.

Not only does trading for Faried wipe out your cap space like you said, but it also takes assets like the Philly 2nd which you might need to move Asik to free up cap space. It's going back to Win Now. They just left the dumpster fire, keep running and don't look back.
Hopefully this is Demps doing his former assistant a solid and looking like an interested buyer or trying to facilitate like Ballhawk suggested.
