The dude murders on the boards, is improving in the post, and plays good D while blocking shots.
Grab a few boards, keep the TO's under 14, close out on shooters and we'll win.

Love Faried, but Gasol and Bynum still killed him on the boards and in the paint tonight. He's not 7 ft tall.

His ceiling is Reggie Evans. I'm not impressed.

Since his particular talent is rebounding, and we struggle with that specifically, it seems prescient to bring him up. Obviously other good players with other talents would be useful, e.g swapping Bradley for James Harden. That's just not relevant to a particular deficiency of ours.
Grab a few boards, keep the TO's under 14, close out on shooters and we'll win.

He's already better than Reggie Evans and more active.

No offense, but you have no idea what you are talking about. Reggie Evans? Really?

Reggie Evans with more hops. Faried isn't starter material longterm.

I'm a bit too lazy to pull out statistics, and I don't even know if they tell the full story, but he is essentially a workman's version of Josh Smith. Like Ben Wallace in Josh Smith's body (not to say he's that good, only that his play style and athleticism match up with those two).

Except he was the starter as a ROOKIE on a team that just took one of the top 5 teams in the NBA to 7 games. And he was by NO MEANS surrounded by great players. A bunch of pretty decent players. He's very much like Ben Wallace. Also not "starter material long term". I reckon we would be a much better team with him starting at the four.

No but he's better than any big on the team not named KG.

I would go as far as trading our draft pick plus JJJ to get him.

Rondo will make him look like an all-star believe me. I think his ceiling is Brian Grant at his peak when he was in Miami, Great motor and just knows how to attack the glass.
