Nuggets trade for Aaron Afflalo
Denver Stiffs —
Trade: As seen in the adjacent link, the Nuggets got Aaron Afflalo and Walter Sharpe from the Pistons in exchange for a future 2nd round draft pick.
The move clears some cap space for Detroit. I would think Detroit would be gun shy to make a deal with the Nuggets after last season and us getting Billups for Allen Iverson. I am not real familiar with either player, but I think our management has been real good of late identifying talent and pieces to the puzzle with ...
Denver Post: Malik Allen to Nuggets for Weems & Sharpe

... , though now it appears that second-year forward Walter Sharpe will also be heading to Milwaukee. Weems is a hyper-athletic shooting guard whose most notable rookie accomplishment was helping Colorado to the D-League title, but perhaps just as importantly his $736k salary is only partially guaranteed. If the ...

... the Bucks' risk (let's call it "young point guard development risk") by keeping both guys is the most prudent move--especially given Sessions isn't going to get a monster deal. But it's also no secret that the Bucks have never been crazy about Sessions, and they're probably also wary of the potential awkwardness of having both Sessions and Jennings fighting for time.

Bucks acquire Delfino and Ukic, but does it matter?
Brew Hoop —
... 3) The roster looks to be full. The Bucks officially have 16 players currently under contract, including the expiring minimum deal of the injured Walter Sharpe. He's currently the obvious candidate to be waived by the start of the regular season to get the Bucks to the maximum of 15 players, though the Bucks could certainly continue to make deals between now and then. Aside from that, they don't have much flexibility in the way of non-guaranteed deals...none in fact. Mark that down as yet another reason Sessions is probably ...

Countdown: Sessions' decision two days away

... The obvious (though not necessarily easy) solution would be dealing players for NG'ed deals (like the Dallas suggestion) or finding a team willing to use a trade exception to take back Ukic (his modest $1.35 million salary makes this not terribly unreasonable). The Bucks could also pay off another team to take on the injured Walter Sharpe's $736k salary, who otherwise seems destined to be waived in order for the Bucks to get back to the 15 player max roster size. Since a) teams can add as much as $3 million to a trade and b) avoiding the luxury tax ...
