Aaron Afflalo responded with enthusiasm at the likelihood of playing in Orlando.
Denver has reportedly agreed to send Afflalo and Al Harrington to the Magic as part of a complicated four team trade.
“Yeah, I'm happy,” Afflalo said. “I just wanted to thank the Denver organization, the teammates that you play with, the fans, but I think it's a great opportunity there in Orlando from a player standpoint. With the coaching change and the management change, I think it's a great time to be a part of the organization.”
Afflalo expects to have a bigger role with the Magic next season.
“Of course,” Afflalo said. “I plan on being the best player I can be, period. I'd love to continue to grow as a person and as a player offensively and defensively. Personally I don't think there's a better place to do it at this time than Orlando.”
