The Denver Nuggets are holding firm to seeking a first round pick in exchange for Arron Afflalo in a trade.

There have not been any takers so far, but interest has been high for Afflalo.

Teams don’t want to relinquish a first rounder for a player that might walk on them at the end of the season. Afflalo has a player option for the final year of his contract.

A similar snag held up Afflalo from being traded to the Charlotte Hornets.
