According to Basketball Insiders' Steve Kyler, Ty Lawson and Kenneth Faried have lost confidence in the direction of the Nuggets' organization and would rather be traded than stick around in a lengthy rebuilding effort. (Basketball Insiders)
Fantasy Impact:
It all started when ex-coach Brain Shaw lost the locker room after trying to install a system that his players didn't want to execute and didn't think was suited to their strengths. Now with the Nuggets' brass having some discussions about possibly breaking up the team and starting over with a new group that would likely buy into the vision the Nuggets are selling, Lawson and Faried have had enough. Trading them may be easier said than done, though. The Nuggets will want youngsters and draft picks in return for Lawson, who has yet to make an All-Star appearance. Faried's contract extension would be an issue unless a trade were to happen after the NBA calendar gets set in stone during July. Stay tuned.
