The Portland Trail Blazers have acquired Arron Afflalo from the Denver Nuggets in a package involving five players and a first-round draft pick.
The Trail Blazers will send Thomas Robinson, Will Barton, Victor Claver, and a lottery-protected first-round pick to the Nuggets for Afflalo and Alonzo Gee.
The first-round pick sent to the Nuggets is lottery-protected in 2016 and 2017. It becomes two future second-round picks if the Blazers miss the playoffs in each of those seasons.
