After weeks of speculation, the Denver Nuggets finally traded Arron Afflalo, sending the veteran shooting guard to Portland in exchange for Thomas Robinson, Will Barton, Victor Claver, and future first- and second-round picks. Alonzo Gee heads to Portland as part of the deal as well.
Here’s how fans of both teams reacted on Twitter:

Arron Afflalo packs his bags for Portland. Blazer fans and myself will miss @Trobinson0 and @WillTheThrillB5's energy coming off the bench.
