Why was Allen Iverson traded to the Denver Nuggets, and do you think that was a good move, why or why not.

He was traded because he was never going to win in Philly. It was time for them to unload him before he starts to decline, and get something decent in return. I think it was a decent trade for the 6ers, though they should've got somebody like Nene in return. Joe Smith is done, he's over. Andre Miller isn't bad, but is way overpaid. The two first round picks are nice, but it depends on how strong this years draft is. It's not like they're early picks, if I recall, they will be 15-25 range, which isn't anything spectacular.
The best thing that Philly got out of this trade, is the fact that they will bomb the rest of this season and probably get Greg Oden with the first overall pick.
As far as Denver goes, I didn't really see a need to make a move for a big time 2G. JR Smith is a star in the making, and Melo is finally becoming a superstar. With JR and AI, two good 2G's, who do you have to run the point?
I personally think the Clippers should've pushed harder to get AI. You put AI on a team with Elton Brand, Shaun Livingston will turn into a star dishing to AI all the time, that team would be spectacular.
Oh well, c'est la vie. Got AI out of the East which is all I care about. GO NETS!

Because the Sixers suck, and they haven't done anything to get better in the last 10 years. They were expecting Iverson to bring them a championship by himself with a bunch of mediocre players dragging their feet around him. He finally got fed up with the lousy management of Billy King and asked to be traded.

in the event that they're rebuilding for the destiny, i think of they could, that is going to likely be greater effective for the two area. The A.I commerce hasn't artwork out as they theory, so it somewhat is time for the two area to go on.

Because he and the 76ers GM were on different pages, and couldn't coexist.
