The Denver Nuggets have received interest from several teams regarding a trade for shooting guard Arron Afflalo, making him a much likelier bet to be dealt before the trade deadline than small forward Wilson Chandler:
Latest word in circulation suggests Arron Afflalo more likely to move before Feb. 19 trade deadline than Wilson Chandler given DEN demands
— Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) February 11, 2015
Afflalo is making $7,750,000 this season and has a player option for 2015-16, which could make him an unrestricted free agent in the summer if he declines it. As of last week, the Nuggets were reportedly seeking a first-round draft pick in exchange for Afflalo, but they may soften their stance with the deadline approaching.
The Portland Trail Blazers, Sacramento Kings, Chicago Bulls, Miami Heat, and Los Angeles Clippers have all been linked to Afflalo in recent days.
Chandler, on the other hand, is locked up for the 2015-16 season at around $7.17 million, so it's likely that the Nuggets are asking for more with the extra year of security attached.
