The Minnesota Timberwolves have interest in trading for Kenneth Faried of the Denver Nuggets.

Tom Thibodeau has long been an admirer of Faried and worked with him as part of the United States' World Cup team in 2014.

The Wolves are looking to improve at the power forward position beside Karl-Anthony Towns.

Minnesota owns the fifth overall pick that they can package with some of their existing players for Faried.
