last season and enters this summer as a restricted free agent. Gold-feder and Nuggets executive Masai Ujiri have said they see "Triple-A" re-signing with Denver. But that might not be for a while, because the NBA likely will have a work stoppage beginning July 1.
"I have confidence that we can get a deal done," Goldfeder said. "There is a very strong mutual admiration between Arron and Nuggets management."
Because a new collective bargaining agreement could lead to a shortening of the length and size of NBA contracts, it's difficult to gauge how much money Afflalo will get. But looking at other players at Afflalo's position — such as Ben Gordon (nearly $11 million), John Salmons (about $8 million) and J.J. Redick (about $7 million) — you can see Afflalo getting $8 million to $10 million with his new deal.
To his credit, Afflalo works out like he gets paid by the game. He starts his offseason workouts with conditioning, then adds weight training and two hours of basketball.
"I'll tone it down the last week before training camp," the UCLA product said. "I remember in Detroit, and even in my first year in Denver, they used to try to tell me to tone it down a little bit and save something for the game. But in reality, I've been in such a habit for working out for so long, I can do it."
Afflalo is in Denver this week for his summer camp at the Central Park Recreation Center. He will return to Los Angeles, his hometown, where he will continue to work out.
"I usually go year-round. That's what I like to do," he said. "If there's confirmation that there's a prolonged offseason (because of a lockout), I'll just approach it as normal."
Arron Agustin Afflalo, 25, came to Denver two seasons ago and thrived as a defensive player and spot-up shooter. After averaging 3.7 and 4.9 points in his first two NBA seasons, both with the Detroit Pistons , he averaged 8.8 points and hit 46.5 percent of his shots in his first
