The Trail Blazers have had a busy past week. On Sunday, the team announced guard Arron Afflalo would not be picking up the player option on the last year of his deal, making him an unrestricted free agent. Three days later, Portland GM Neil Olshey sent forward Nicolas Batum to the Charlotte Hornets in exchange for guard Gerald Henderson and young big man Noah Vonleh. Finally, forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson fell to the Blazers at pick No. 23 in Thursday's NBA Draft, shortly before the team flipped him to the Brooklyn Nets, along with veteran guard Steve Blake, for center Mason Plumlee and No.
