The Denver Nuggets have made no secret about their desires to make some changes before the upcoming NBA trade deadline and one name who has constantly found himself in the NBA trade rumors mill is that of Arron Afflalo.
A swingman by nature, Afflalo not only brings with him a solid offensive game but relatively impressive defense which understandably has opposing franchises salivating at the thought of acquring him. Of course, the Denver Nuggets know what Afflalo brings to the court and are said to be seeking at least a first round draft pick in exchange for the veteran who can play multiple positions.
It’s not known if they’ll be able to squeeze such value out of Arron Afflalo, but there are multiple teams interested in an Arron Afflalo trade including the Chicago Bulls, Los Angeles Clippers and Miami Heat.
Among teams Nuggs have discussed Afflalo w/ — Portland, Chi, Clips, Mia, Sac. He’s got a player option next year, so FRP is a lot to ask

All of the teams mentioned, outside of the Miami Heat, aren’t likely to have a draft pick of their own above the mid 20’s, which isn’t exactly overly valuable. Of course, other assets could be moved along with the said pick to make a deal more attractive to the Denver Nuggets.
Who’s going to win the Arron Afflalo sweepstakes is unknown, though the NBA trade rumors surrounding all involved don’t look like they’re going to slow down anytime soon.
