At the 2015 February trade deadline, the Portland Trail Blazers traded Thomas Robinson, Will Barton, Victor Claver, and their 2016 first round draft pick to the Denver Nuggets in exchange for Arron Afflalo and Alonzo Gee. The move was intended to bring the Trail Blazers much needed depth at the wing and ready the team for a deep playoff run, with Afflalo being the crucial acquisition. The move was also a bold gambit, as there was no guarantee that Afflalo would exercise his player option at the end of the season.
