Hey Wolves fan here!

Congrats! You got solid SG in Affalo, if everybody is healthy you have promising roster Mozgov-Faried-Gallinari-Afflalo-Lawson with Chandler, McGee, Hickson, #11!

Denver Post....

Confirmed Yahoo report that the #Nuggets have traded Evan Fournier to Orlando for Arron Afflalo and the 56th pick.

Again, Afflalo will not be flipped for anyone else, according to Post sources. He'll be in Denver back with the #Nuggets for next season.

Damn, didn't think we'd be able to pull that off without giving up #11. Well done, TC!

Dempsey reporting that the pressure is off on our choice for #11 and it will be used on the best player available. I bet we end up with Saric.

Afflalo is back let's goooo! Now just don't draft dario saric and it'll be a good day. I'm thinking jusuf nurkic now that we got afflalo back.

Well, when I saw the headlines, thought we'd be sitting out the 1st round. While I like Fournier, his lack of progress made him expendable. The 56th was irrelevant to me, would still like to see Dinwiddie at 41 or LaVine at 11 as we now don't have any youth at the SG position

StunnaStan · Post #7 » by **StunnaStan** » Thu Jun 26, 2014 3:43 pm

Our current gm who wants dario saric at 11 was also responsible for drafting bum ass Jan veesly as the 6th overall pick and then trading for veesly as soon as he gets a new job. Don't believe this dario saric hype. Poor man's ilyasova

TC likely robbed Orlando for AAA. I'd be fine with him trading back with the Bulls and taking Saric with one of the picks.

This trade was definitely a steal for us. However, I really hope TC is not done dealing because this is the EXACT same lineup we had a few years ago that couldn't get out of the first round.

Good Trade. Fournier looks like he will become a pretty good player. But, Affalo is a solid two guard.

I would look for a guard w/ the 11th pick unless a Randall, or Gordan fall on their lap @ 11.

With Lawson, Gallo and Affalo they look pretty covered in the back court and on the wing. Now I think the focus should go on what will happen at the 4 with Kenny becoming an RFA and Hickson injured, plus McGee leaves much to be desired.

Orlando fan here... Congrats on getting an improved Afflalo back. He was put in all kinds of uncomfortable situations the last two years and he really showed what a great payer he is by performing the way he did on a bad team this past season.

What I'd like to know is... what should I expect out of Fournier...? Pros and cons. Hennigan has shown an eye for hidden talent, so he must see something intriguing in him to use afflalo on him.

Good deal. Credit where credit is due - this was a nice first step by TC.

I hope it really is best available at 11, and they're not planning to stash. If that's the best available, great, but if somebody slides, you have to consider it.

A good move by TC, seems like a good start for his full off-season. Definitely says they want to win now, bring AAA back. Also keeps our 2 available roster spots in tact for our #1 and #2 (or Greene or ?? )

If this isn't a move for Love, does Chandler come off the bench now?

I think both Chandler AND Foye now come off the bench, the ideal position for both IMO.

G: Ty Lawson / Nate Robinson
G: Arron Afflalo / Randy Foye
F: Danilo Gallinari / Wilson Chandler
F: Kenneth Faried / JJ Hickson
C: JaValee McGee / Timofey Mozgov

Plus the 11th pick, not bad.

I'm not in love with McGee and Hickson, but I like the rest of the roster, especially the potential SF/PF rotation of Chandler, Faried, and a healthy Gallinari. Hopefully Foye could handle a bench role after having been a starter.

Holy crap, nice.

A good shooting guard just like that, and we still have the #11.

Man, the West just got better.

now this is a steal compared to reported offers. Nuggets cant cancel this move out with cost cutting move with 11th pick

You guys got a much improved Afflalo from when you last had him so congrats! What are your thoughts on Fournier for the Magic?
