NEW YORK (Reuters):
The Denver Nuggets have reached an agreement to acquire former MVP Allen Iverson from the Philadelphia 76ers.
Denver will send André Miller, Joe Smith and two 2007 first-round picks to the 76ers for the high-scoring Iverson, and perhaps another minimum-salaried player.
Two weeks ago the 31-year-old Iverson demanded the 76ers trade him and Sixers chairman Ed Snider said he would comply with the request.
The team cleared out Iverson's locker and have refused to play him. Philadelphia has lost 11 straight and has a 5-18 record - the worst in the Eastern Conference.
Miller, the NBA assists leader in 2002 when he was with Cleveland, is averaging 13 points and 9.1 assists this seaso,n while Smith, an 11-year veteran, is scoring 5.1 points per game.
Iverson, is averaging 31.2 points in 15 games this season and has a 28.1 career scoring average in 10 NBA campaigns. He has led the NBA in scoring four times, most recently in 2005, and was the league's MVP in 2001.
The trade will be completed pending league approval, ESPN said.
