Arron Afflalo plans to opt out from Blazers

Arron Afflalo intends to go ahead with plans to opt out this summer even though a right shoulder injury obviously prevented him from making the post-trade deadline smash in Portland that he'd hoped.

Afflalo has a $7.8M player option for 2015-16. He averaged 10.6 points and 2.7 rebounds in 25 games for the Blazers this season after arriving at Portland from Denver in a mid-season trade.
