    I hope CJ's time isn't effected in all this. I don't think it has to be. Afflalo as a back up three should be fine. Afterall, it is a back up three.

    This trade has raised my interest in watching the Nuggets more than it has raised my interest in watching the Blazers.

    Of course, my prior interest in watching the Nuggets was pretty much zero, and my prior interest in watching the Blazers was pretty near maximal, but still.

    Mmmm....If I was the General Manager Jeff Green's heart would have kept me up at night if I were to make such a deal.

    From a clutchfans boardie "insider":

    "I'm extremely disappointed by today, but as you know, the NBA operates in the realm of unpredictable decisions.

    Secondly, from my Colorado ears, Morey wanted Arron Affallo badly. More than Lawson. He was trying to make that happen today, apparently    . He had an interest in JJ like last year, but he was unwilling to take on MCGee. That whole team wants to be far far away from Shaw."

    This trade was a no-brainer ... A++ ... While Robinson and Barton were fan favorites, played with tons of energy, and provided memorable moments, neither was the reliable player off the bench this team needed. With the emergence of Meyers and CJ's solid play recently, not to mention Freeland returning soon, Afflalo's addition gives Portland a very strong 11-man rotation should Coach Stotts choose to go that deep into his depth chart.

    Alonzo Gee can make a basket with his hands.

    I assume that he will be made available after he passes his physical.
