    Anywhere!!!!!!!!!!!

    He'll never win anything with the 76ers. I'm not sure how committed he is to winning a championship as if he was willing to take a pay cut, it will give him more options.

    The Sixers are not going to get full value for him when they do trade. He's a scoring machine but on a reasonably poor FG% and some teams may be reluctant to take him on for attitude and lifestyle reasons.

    More likely trades include AI+Iguodala for a raft of young talent and draft picks. But not many teams are going to want to trade away their draft picks since the upcoming drafts are supposed to be pretty strong.

    Well the nuggets are going to need him with melo sitting on the bench. Be nice to see how these superstars work together though.

    The Sixers got screwed over in that trade. Two late picks and an overweight Andre Miller for Iverson?

    Yeah, history repeats itself yet again for the sixers. I bet the fans are pissed.

    Good trade for Denver.. look forward to seeing how they play together in Jan and good news for any fans expecting to see their team struggle without Melo.

    It's great news for Denver but which of them is going to be able to sit back and let the other take the spotlight?

    Neither of them have been role players in their NBA (not sure about college) careers so it'll be interesting to see how they play together.

    It's as good a trade as the 76ers were gonna get.

    I pretty much agree with Steve Kerrs analysis here:

    The interesting part is how Carmelo and Iverson play once Anthony is back on the court.

    Phil.

    he has spend the better part of his career with the 76ers and is one of the outstanding players of the past decade.

    hope he finds more success with Denver.

    Was just checking on of the online bookies and it had Denver at 20/1 to win the championship, not bad odds considering the talent they've got on their team. A little early alright but not a bad bet.

    They've got a decent supoorting cast with Camby, Boykins, Martin and Smith. With Iverson and George Karl having trips to the finals before it gives the team some experience in that sense.
