Will Iverson be next key Nugget dealt?
By Chris Tomasson
Marcus Camby has been shown to the city line. Could Allen Iverson be the next high-dollar player to be drop-kicked out of Denver by the cost-cutting Nuggets?
Indications are the Nuggets would trade Iverson if the deal was right. They'd also trade Kenyon Martin or Nene, if anybody wanted either. And owner Stan Kroenke would be willing to deal the Rocky Mountains if he owned them and it would keep him from paying the luxury tax.
But Iverson has trade value. With an expiring $20.84 million contract, he would be an ideal acquisition for a team looking to clear salary-cap room for next summer in one swoop.
First, though, the Nuggets must decide what they want to do with their future. There has been no indication so far there is any plan, with the exception of Kroenke suddenly becoming very budget conscious and perhaps looking to start collecting S&H Green Stamps.
There's a slim chance the Nuggets could get under the tax threshold for next season. One way to do that would be to trade Iverson and get back a bit less than $17 million in salaries, although that figure could vary depending upon any contract restricted free-agent J.R. Smith might sign with Denver.
If the Nuggets are a tax-paying team next season, they almost certainly would be out of the tax in 2009-10 if were to let Iverson walk after next season. But do they want to let Iverson go for nothing, although that seems to be a trend these days (the Clippers may end up giving up nill for Camby)?
If the Nuggets want to try to carve out cap room in the summer of 2010, when the likes of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh can become free agents, then it might make sense to wave goodbye to Iverson for nothing.
However, the Nuggets might deem carving out such cap room too tough or too risky. After all, they are looking to re-sign Smith, they will have to make a call on re-signing Linas Kleiza by next summer and Carmelo Anthony, Martin and Nene all still will be under huge contracts in 2010-11.
If cap room is 2010 is not a realistic goal, then the Nuggets might not want to let Iverson bolt for nothing. While perhaps trading him before the start of the season might be too quick of a move, it wouldn't be surprising if suitors are lining up for Iverson at next February's trade deadline.
A team out of contention could pick up Iverson, sell a few extra tickets, and create heaps of cap room. Even a team in contention could think Iverson might be a missing piece, and then also get cap room if he is elected not to be kept.
If the Nuggets dealt Iverson, the key would be to get first-round draft choices and/or young prospects. The Nuggets might have to take back some longer contracts, but, if they're out of the luxury tax and not trying to carve out cap room in 2010, that might not be such a bad deal.
There, of course, is one more possibility, but that doesn't seem overly likely at this point. The Nuggets could look to re-sign Iverson after he becomes a free agent next summer.
But the Nuggets never offered Iverson a multiyear contract even though his camp was willing earlier this summer for Iverson to opt out of his contract and take less money this season. And, while Iverson has said he wants to finish his career in Denver, one wonders what he might be thinking after Camby was given away (Iverson has been unavailable for comment).
Furthermore, it's always tough for a player to return to a team after a drastic salary cut. I wouldn't want to be standing too close to Iverson at a time when the Nuggets might say, "We'll give you $5 million or $6 million for 2009-10. That's only a 75-percent pay cut.''
So perhaps the Nuggets will dispatch Iverson by next February's trade deadline. Hey, Memphis has salary-cap room and the Grizzlies need to sell some tickets.

Buyout Iverson. You owe him that.
You traded for him under the illusion that you were building a championship team but with George Karl (a perennial bust in playoffs) that was impossible.
Trade him to a contender or simply buy him out. Greedy Stan could safe $10 million if he bought him out for $15 million ($5 million on salary and another $5 million on luxury tax). Iverson could then sign for the midlevel exception with a contender.
Think of the possibilities.
Also trade Melo. He doesn't need to be stuck under Stan's greedy thumb.
Those who can't afford to own a basketball team should sell it.

buy him out. sixers can then pick iverson up. he had talk about going back their anyway. its his home. there is no doubt that where he started his career is where he wants to finish it.
and at this point with the team acuiruing elton brand,.. what is a better way to leave than with a championship?
and whoever said lebron and iverson on cleveland obviously has no idea what they are talking about.
lebron is going to opt. out of his contract.
him and jay-z have a tight bond now and are more than guarenteed to be doing business together in the future.
they both have talked about it once jay moves the team to brooklyn.
iverson just needs to play one last season in denver. and then take a pay cut and sign wtih the sixers if what he really wants is a championship.

I agree that the Nuggets should either trade Iverson or let him walk. They were NOT ready to win when they traded for him and that is selfish. I'm starting to think that the guy was brought to Denver just for ticket and jersey sales. They are getting more out of him then he is out of the Nuggets. Let him go to a organization that is ready to win now and call it a day.
I will say this, that if/when they trade Iverson..it will get a hell of a lot worse before it gets better for the Nuggets. A line up of Carmelo, JR, Nene and Kleiza is not going to do anythining in the West I don't care how young they are. They let Iverson go, they won't make the playoffs this season, period. And they face a strong possibility of not making the playoffs for season(s) to come. And if they don't make the playoffs for the next few seasons, they will face the strong real possibility of getting rid of Carmelo (he will have been in the league for 7 or 8 seasons by then) and starting over. So while the Denver media and some of its fans are so hard pressed in trying to make the Nuggets completely "Melos team" again, be careful what you wish for..because you just might get it.
Also, you can give up the dream of Lebron, D-Wade or Chris Bosh coming to the Nuggets. Those guys actually want to contend, they do not want to go to organizations that are not serious about contending. Add that to the fact that Denver is not exactly a popular destination for free agents and there you go. Lebron or D-Wade will probably be heading to New York. Book it.

Iverson and melo are hearing everything thats goin on with the team rite now n they dont like it. Im a big iverson fan, i was mad when he left philly but even happier when he went to denver, if u remember the same time he was goin to leave philly he took them to the championship but they lose because he had no scoring help well with melo he has scoring help but no defence. get defence n give this one more year. I watch iverson 4 years since i was 11 years old if u talkn bout heart he has the biggest n the NBA with me saying that with all the rumors u will c a big chance this year or we any talk bout the same Allen Iverson. This team only been together a year n a half plus all the injuries they never bonded together. Please give that some consideration before u break up iverson n melo.

Iverson is coming back to Philly. With Andre Miller in the last year of his contract he will be gone next year. This opens up a spot for Iverson to the run the point in Philly. It would be a storybook finish to his career to retire with the team that he become the best player in the league with. Look at this starting 5 - Iverson, Iguodala, Young, Brand and Dalembert with Williams, Green, Evans, Smith on the bench. Just add a shooter that mix and you have a team that will compete in the East.
Iverson will not be traded this year. Since Iverson makes over $20M this year that means around $16M in contracts will have to be coming back to Denver. I can assure that those contracts wont be coming off the books in the summer of 2009. EVEN if Nuggets do find a suitor for Iverson, he will be basically a expensive short term rental if he doesnt resign with the team. Iverson will want to test the market so that wont be an option.

Pistons get TMAC.
Nuggets get under luxury tax and Jackson's expiring contract. Rockets free themselves one year of 20million from TMAC's deal, and get a healthier, more productive Iverson.. in a contract year no less. And throw in Prince for good measure. Pistons get what they have wanted.. an bonafide scorer and fresh face. Looks like a win-win-win to me.

You are absolutely right.The deal is perfect for both rockets,nuggets and pistons.
Are you sure that is this going to happen?

trade iverson to the knicks for jerome james,malik rose and jared jeffries,remeber the Knicks has the luxury tax exception too clear cap room,and iverson and marbury are the best of buds anyway.

Im a die hard Iverson fan so whatever denver decides to do they better not handle it the way Philly did.He is the greatest little man to play the game.He gets overlooked in the league and with george karl's boys and girl's club coaching scheme,there's no way Iverson can win there.I say trade him but make sure its to a contending team.He deserves a ring before he retires.

AI deserves to go to a contending team where he could actually win a championship and not put up with all this crap and a bad team. Send him to any frontrunners in either conference so he can finally get his ring.

Washington or Atlanta, maybe Dallas or GS in the west could bite. But he will be gone for sure by midpoint with Nogguts at 14-27.

Iverson needs to leave Denver, they are some shit and are doing nothing but getting worse. Iverson is getting up their in age so he needs to go to a team that can contend for a championship or even make the playoffs. Because at the rate the nuggets are going they can't do either.GO TO CLEVELAND, LA, OR BACK TO PHILLY.
