Chicago Bulls aiming for Arron Afflalo trade

The Chicago Bulls are pursuing a trade for Orlando Magic swingman Arron Afflalo, according to league sources.

Afflalo, 28, has two years left on his contract – including an Early Termination Option (ETO) provision next summer – and front office executives believe the Magic are prioritizing a trade for Afflalo over working to extend his contract.

It is unclear how the Bulls' pursuit of Afflalo would impact the franchise's free-agent interest in New York Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony.
