It was February 19, 2015 when the Denver Nuggets sent Arron Afflalo and Alonzo Gee to the Portland Trail Blazers for a lottery protected first round pick and multiple players. One of those players included in the trade was none other than Will Barton and little did we know what he would mean to this Nuggets team for years to come.
Barton joined the Nuggets a year before Michael Malone became the head coach and was only on the team for two weeks before Denver fired Brian Shaw and named Melvin Hunt interim head coach.
