Arron Afflalo had a breakout season for the Magic last year. Many were surprised by him performance (18.2 ppg) and he was given heavy consideration for the all star team.
Because a player of Afflalo’s caliber has that type of season, the Magic have done what any self-respecting team would do: strike while the iron’s hot and trade him.
The Orlando Magic have agreed to send guard Arron Afflalo to the Denver Nuggets in exchange for guard Evan Fournier and the No. 56 pick, a person with knowledge of the deal told USA TODAY Sports. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the deal had not yet been announced.
