Sixers, Nuggets reach agreement for Iverson

[QUOTE=saKf]"Certainly they will be?" They're currently 10th and don't have Anthony or Smith for several games. Also, they have to take time figuring Iverson out because they've got a new starting point guard now.[/QUOTE]

Well look at the Mavs pick then, genius! My point remains the same...two crappy 1st rounders for Philly. I can definently see Dallas and Denver finishing with top 8 records. Dallas could have the best record giving Philly basically 2nd rounders because the picks are so low in the 1st Round.

Huh, Andre Miller and I have the same birthday.

Anyway, a couple of first rounders isn't a horrible return at this point.

If I'm the sixers I immediately start looking to trade Miller for something more appropriate to a rebuilding franchise.

i personally think 76ers got ripped off, big time...they got joe smith and miller, basically for AI .... those picks are going to be no good, because theyre going to be in the 20's....poor 76ers....nice job King....Denver is my new 2ND fav team

[QUOTE=PromisedLand]adam, do you not think Denver will be top 6 record wise?[/QUOTE]No I don't think they will be. They are currently #10 record-wise, and just lost a bunch of their best players to long suspensions.

[QUOTE=Kobe24]I wish the Lakers gave Odom,Vujacic and Cook[/QUOTE]

that wouldnt be good for the lakers... odom+kobe>>>>>iverson+kobe

all i can say is **** YES!!!

adam, do you think Dallas will finish with a top 3 record? Because that's Philly's other 1st rounder that they got in this trade. It equals POOP.

In a deep draft, few first rounders are crappy.

but it's definitely possible that they finish 10-12nd, let alone lower than 6th...they don't have melo for 15 games and jr for 10

Iverson/Melo:bowdown: :bowdown:

chemistry problems.

Those low 1st round picks come in a deep draft. The last time we had a great draft ('03) the bottom 10 picks included Boris Diaw, Leandro Barbosa and Josh Howard.

Wow...Congrads to all Nuggets fans!!!

When Melo gets back this should be fun to watch.

Ok, I take back my earlier statement... I was hasty in my reading and thought the Sixers would be getting J.R. Smith... but no... Joe Smith... Are you kidding? :oldlol:

So... what happens in a month when AI feels it's his team and Melo returns to retake the team? I'm not saying that they can't co-exsist, I'm just saying that it'll be interesting...

Joe Smith = cap expirer. Sixers dont need another SG.

Translation "Damn, now Utah is gonna have to fight for this division. Melo + AI? Ugh, great!"

[QUOTE=saKf]"Certainly they will be?" They're currently 10th and don't have Anthony or Smith for several games. Also, they have to take time figuring Iverson out because they've got a new starting point guard now.[/QUOTE]

the fact that we are currently 10th overall nba is so shocking i didnt believe it at first. everything that can go wrong, has for us. and yet we are still 10th? wow.

[QUOTE=Sharas]this season, probably...but they're getting three first rounders in most hyped draft class for some time (along with 2003). also, it's make it or break it for iggy, dalembert, korver, green and so on. if there's any true potential in them, this will bring it out.[/QUOTE]

It will bring the talent out. AI is a ball hog, as is Melo. So that will be funny to watch. But Korver, Dalembert, and Iggy will all see their #'s skyrocket. As soon as Miller starts playing as a Sixer, you will see this.

wow... AI for Andre Miller. sixer fans consider your franchise over. they couldn't even get Camby. :roll:

Iverson
JR
Melo
Nene
Camby

extremely deadly team right there. although I dont know about JR on a team with 2 30ppg guys. doesn't really fit.

Joe Smith is a nice backup pf, and a lockerroom leader. Exactly the kind of guy a young rebuilding team should hope to keep around. He'll probably leave for a contendor after this season, but the Sixers would be fools not to offer him a couple million and hope he stays.

I say JR averages 12 points a game from here on out.

The Nuggz had something, from the street, going with JR Smith and Melo. Now you've thrown a huge wrench into the equation with Iverson. This could be a move the Nuggz regret months from now. I'm not so sure the Nuggz didn't make this move, in part, to get talk of the brawl to subdue. They can't have their franchise player looking like a thug to all of America. They had to throw a wrench into play and now everyone is talking about Iverson in a Denver uniform. It works well in the short term. We'll see how it works out long term.

[QUOTE=GOBB]Joe Smith = cap expirer. Sixers dont need another SG.[/QUOTE]

They could have turned around and gotten more for JR Smith than the 7 million Joe Smith gets them, and though the draft will be deep in 07, it's still Iverson we're talking about... Andre Miller, Joe Smith, and picks for Iverson... it just sounds wrong... lol, unfair.

Yea because Camby was on the table right GeeWiz you idiot! :rolleyes:

And considering how many games in a row this team has lost. Your stupid statement of "consider your franchise over" was about as dumb as the idiots who will create a "AI to Denver" topic in the new few minutes. Get a clue kid.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A.I. on the Nuggets with Melo. It's going to be hot. Can we get a manip of A.I. in the uni?

[QUOTE=A Roc 23]I say JR averages 12 points a game from here on out.[/QUOTE]

very possible.

I couldn't say anything before but AI's been practicing with the team since yesterday.....just been on the down low.

[QUOTE=Zombles]chemistry problems.[/QUOTE]

no, they will thrive. AI wants to win first and foremost and Melo has always been a team player first. They'll both listen to G. Karl and will be a deadly duo

:eek:

Carmelo, KMart, Nene, Camby and AI will take up 64 million next year... I expect the Nuggets to attempt to trade KMart. That could only make the team better.

So retrade JR Smith again? :oldlol: Overkill. You also gotta play JR Smith (after he serves his 10gm suspension) to boost his value up. Bulls gave JR Smith away for what? I dont see the Sixers benefiting much with JR Smith as an asset as I do Joe Smith who comes off the books and atleast is a respectable forward (look consider who we have, webber sits out and we got Allan Henderson).


No other teams were offering more. :confusedshrug:

I like the deal because we get 2 first round picks.

I feel sorry for KG.

Getting A.I. for Andre may have possibly just saved their season while Melo and J.R. are out for a combined 25 games.

Would you have accepted Odom and Cook? Not sure if the salaries match

As soon as this trade happens this team will be unstoppable the reason is that they got the top 2 leading scorers and no one can stop them
