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.

LET'S offer DEN this very reasonable deal:

Bibby (expiring $15.2M) + Marvin ($5.6M) = $20.8+M
- for -
Iverson ($21.9)

Why Bibby to DEN?
Bibby is not only an expiring contract that would appeal to DEN, but he is (still) one of the better PGs in the league with playoff experience, ability to score, pass, and lead at a high level...So Bibby might solidy the PG spot for them as opposed to having AI playing tweener. This would also allow JR/Melo to be their #1 and #2 scorers

Why Marvin to DEN?
He could blossom in high power offense where he's not pushed to be the #2 guy...He could play big minutes off the bench along with Kleiza and company....He'd be a restrcted free agent next summer so DEN could resign him or use him to maneuver deals with their cap space next year...

Why Iverson to ATL?
Why not? Especially with us being able to add him without losing JJ, Smoove, or Horford...The salaries are pretty much a match and he is an expiring contract like Bibby anyway...He could put us deep into the playoffs this year without costing the bank and keeping our nucleus...He'd also blow the roof off of Phillips Arena every night with attendance...Teams would not be able to double JJ or Iverson and with that offensive fire power, Woody would even look like COY!!! Come on now!!! Ai + Joe + Al + Smoove? That has to make us instant contenders!!

BOSTON pulled the trigger last year and gnabbed KG for Jefferson+fillers and they got Ray for Delonte+pick+fillers...those bold steps gave them a title...ATL took them to gm7 with a poor offensive attack (an less than 100% Bibby)...I know Iverson would put us over. It CAN'T HURT TO OFFER IT!!!

It might have to be AI without Chills at this point, but you are giving up 2 starters for one. We would still have a hole to fill and that bench would be non-existent at that point.

I agree that it could be a reasonable trade for Denver, but I think a team that brings in Iverson has to be a win-now type of team. I don't think we'd make it past the second round with him, and we would leave us for nothing the following year when he signs with a title contender for less to get a ring before he gets too old.

AI is also expiring, but i like the idea. we would prob have to put childress in for marvin and give them his status. even if he leaves for europe, i don't think he would count towards their cap. i could be wrong though.

AI
JJ
Marv
Josh
Horford.

AI could bring the ball upcourt and play the two man game with Joe.

i think that bibby could leave us to go for that ring so that couldn't be a reason not to do this deal.

I'd do this deal only if we keep both Joshes.

No doubt, Denver accepts.
