Potential Landing Spots: Portland Trail Blazers, New York Knicks
Arron Afflalo will likely be looking for a three-year deal worth close to $40 million this summer. I’m not sure if there’s going to be a ton of teams out there gunning to feed that type of contract to him, but I’m pretty sure the New York Knicks would — and potentially will.
In a scenario in which the Knicks miss out on the bigger free agents, such as Danny Green, Wes Matthews, LaMarcus Aldridge and so on…New York will probably just turn around and throw money at the “next best thing.” That just happens to be Arron Afflalo.
Where he signs: New York Knicks
Next: 18. Danny Green
