Per Adrian Wojnarowski, center Kenneth Faried’s time in Brooklyn has come to an end.
Faried was acquired in a summer deal with the Denver Nuggets. In exchange for Isaiah Whitehead, Brooklyn acquired the rights to Darrell Arthur, a 2019 first-round pick, a 2020 second-round pick, and Faried’s semi-albatross contract. (In hindsight, this already sounds like another steal for Sean Marks).
Now, Faried and his remaining $13.7 million salary are expected to clear waivers on Monday. Per Woj, the Manimal has already found a new home and is likely to join the Houston Rockets.
