Allen Iverson Goest West To Denver

Allen Iverson got the trade he demanded, and the Denver Nuggets got a four time scoring champion to add some fire to the team while Carmelo Anthony's serves a 15 game suspension for his part in the weekend brawl between the Nuggets and New York Knicks.

Iverson was traded for Andre Miller, Joe Smith and two 2007 first-round picks. The Nuggets also get Ivan McFarlin.


Iverson takes his 31.2-point scoring average to Denver and ends 10 seasons with the team that made him the No. 1 overall pick in 1996.

"Our personality is going to change. It's going to be different. That will take some time," Nuggets coach George Karl said.

"All trades shake your team a little bit," he said. "I hope that they realize that we're doing this to be better, we're doing this to be special, we're doing this to contend."

Iverson is due the rest of his $18 million this season, and a combined $40 million through the 2008-09 season.
