Denver trade a second round pick for Arron Afflalo, Walter Sharpe and cash.
Detroit does this to make 2 million cap space, possibly in preparation for their next trade but I love this move for Denver. Afflalo is a defensive stud. who every year out of High School has improved on the offensive end. He always got the Pistons toughest assigment on D last season but with Gordon here I think they knew he was going to battle for minutes. This guy is a far better defender than Dahntay and not a passenger on offence. 40% from 3 last season. I really like him, reminds me a lot of a young Raja Bell.
EDIT: AI Watch: Memphis Grizzlies owner Michael Heisley thinks that the Miami Heat are "the odds-on favorite" to sign free-agent guard Allen Iverson but hasn't abandoned hope of acquiring the four-time scoring champion.
In a halftime interview Sunday at the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, where No. 2 overall draft pick Hasheem Thabeet made his professional debut in the Grizzlies' 86-57 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder, Heisley confirmed to ESPN.com that he still wants to bring Iverson to Memphis.
"I think he's got three teams he's talking to," Heisley said, referring to the Grizzlies, Heat and the Charlotte Bobcats, who are widely presumed to be interested because Iverson's former coach, Larry Brown, has said he's open to coaching Iverson again.
"Obviously I would think that the odds-on favorite would be Miami, because Dwyane Wade would like to get with him and I think that would be where [Iverson and agent Leon Rose] would like to go. But we're still talking to them and we'll see what happens."

I'm going to assume the injury has basically ruled him out of playing much/any NBA until the 2nd half of the upcoming season? (Taking into account recovery time, and the fact that I imagine there would be a few other guards ahead of him at Portland?)
