Trade Analysis
Allen Iverson delivered elite scoring and helped sustain Denver's playoff window, while Philadelphia received Andre Miller and two first-round assets. Denver later converted Iverson into Chauncey Billups, but that later transaction is treated separately. The original deal produced meaningful value for both sides, and the completed separation remains too small to justify a winner.
