Still, it's not completely out of the question phenom Greg Oden could end up in Denver. A Philadelphia 76ers official said a provision was put into the Dec. 19 Allen Iverson trade that the Nuggets would keep their 2007 first- round pick if they get the top selection. To do that, the Nuggets, eighth in the West, would have to miss the playoffs and defy long odds to win the lottery. If the Nuggets somehow get the top pick, they likely would use it on Oden, the Ohio State freshman center expected to enter the draft. Then they would ship their 2008 first-round pick to the 76ers. The Nuggets parted with two first-round picks in the Iverson deal, the other being a 2007 selection that once belonged to Dallas. That pick is protected for the top seven, meaning the Mavericks would keep it and send a future selection to the 76ers in the highly unlikely chance they get a pick that high. </div> Source
