Faried's contract was signed after the NBA announced that they have reached a new television deal with multiple providers for a estimated $24 billion.
The player they call “The Manimal" averaged 13.7 points and 8.6 rebounds for the Nuggets in 2013-14 and started in 77 games for Denver in that time.

Also, Faried is *arguably* overpaid at $12 per now but underpaid when the cap goes up. He gets security and status now, they get a deal — Hardwood Paroxysm (@HPbasketball) October 6, 2014
