It was expected to be completed later Tuesday barring any snags.</div>

To bad we have to wait another 14 games to see them working together. I bet KG isnt happy about this. Now he is going to have to play against Iverson 4 times a year, and he wanted him on the Wolves. Do you see another big time player getting traded soon?
Motherf*cking nuggets... I never liked them... I hope they fail miserably, and that AI and Anthony clash.
philly didnt get raped. What did you expect...nobody...NOBODY is going to tarde their star for AI. So they got 2 1st rnd picks and a playmaker inAndre Miller. With Miller, Iggy is going to average 20ppg for sure
Nice! I can't wait to see Melo and Iverson together. This is good timing actually. Iverson will keep Denver from fading out of the playoff picture well Melo's away...
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (L_C @ Dec 19 2006, 04:00 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>They now have 3 picks in the first round in 07? Anyone know what team the third pick is from?</div>Yeah thats what I was wondering. ESPN said that those 2 picks would be in the 20s, so im guessing its from a good team.
Finally Philly is building for the future. Took long enough. Iverson still doesn't put the Nuggets over the top. They need a big man in the post and a reliably outside shooter. Iverson doesn't fix either of those problems.
If this goes through soon, this will be really awesome for the Nuggets. Especially with Carmelo Anthony suspended, this will give them someone to pick up the scoring slack if they start to have problems scoring. I also don't see this team having any problems with team work, I think Iverson is going to know that Carmelo Anthony is the best scorer on the team these days, and he will need to give the ball up alot more to be successful. I also don't see this being such a bad deal for the sixers, as they will get a pas first point guard that is good at running in the opening court to pair up with Andre Igoudola and Rodney Carney, both very athletic guys, for the next two seasons. Also giving them Smith who's contract will expire at the end of the season, and two first round picks, and this should turn into a nice deal for the 76ers
