Afflalo, 29, averaged 13.3 points, 1.7 assists and 3.2 rebounds for Denver and Portland last season.
Afflalo's best season came with Orlando in 2013-14, when he averaged 18.2 points 3.4 assists and 3.6 rebounds. He played with Knicks star Carmelo Anthony in Denver from 2009 until Melo's trade to New York in 2011.
