General news from other teams. Offtopic NBA items that are too small for a whole discussion, but interesting nonetheless.

Kenneth Faried gets 5 year extension worth a guaranteed $52 million with the potential of earning $60 million. Considering his numbers are very similar to Taj's and Taj is the superior defender, I'd say his contract is somewhat of a bargain.

Little over 10M for Faried? Not a bad deal at all for Denver. I think he's gonna have a monster year coming off of Team USA.

He definitely seems like a guy who benefited from that type of structure and environment.... I've just never been quite as high on him as others. He just gives off the vibe that he's an overhyped energy guy. That very well could be because of his supporting cast. I'm interested to see what he does in his second year in the Brian Shaw offense.

So the only person whos gonna score is Westbrook then.
Westbrook is gonna shoot like 40 shots per game :elephant:

I expect this is time for Jeremy Lamb to show he doesn't suck. Reggie Jackson may also get plenty of chances now.

That seriously blows for OKC. Hopefully this isn't a lingering thing for Durant. He's fun to watch.
