Ask Kenneth Faried if he’s offended by being tagged a salary dump, if he’s motivated to show he’s still the same player he once was, and the Nets newcomer will let you know there’s no past tense here. “Hey, I never stopped being the player I am. There’s no ‘were,’ ” the 28-year-old Faried said Wednesday as he was introduced at the team’s Brooklyn training facility. “The Nuggets wanted to go in a different direction. Brooklyn decided, ‘Hey, let’s pick up a still-able, still-capable player who can go out and produce and lead a team and do the things he’s done before.’ … They believed in me, took this chance to trade for me, and I’m excited to be here and produce.”
