I suspect Iverson will/would be extremely difficult to trade. I've spent way too much time on realgm.com fiddling around trying to come up with plausible options, and I really think his trade value is fairly low right now.

once they made the AI trade in the middle of the season that made it a lock we werent going to trade any veterans. The nuggets are a team that has assembled talent but havent finished the job.
this summer isnt a bad year to trade away vets. the nba draft is loaded with talent. with our pick Brandon Rush and Bill Walker should be available. both guys are looking like they are at best late teens and at worst early 20s.
i've got my eye on eric gordon from indiana. i just have a feeling because he is 6'4 and suited to play shooting guard that teams are going to pass him up. gordon is underrated and a perfect fit for the nuggets. teams selecting roy hibbert and passing on gordon are going to feel salty. ideally he falls to the late lotto and the nuggets trade up and snag him. i like earl clarke (louisville) i just have no idea where he would get drafted. probably middle of the first round.
i just really suggest nugget fans follow college basketball this year. again until some kind of deal gets done im rooting for our team but i'm not optimistic we contend.
i like 3 kids on syracuse a lot. flynn is going to be a good floor general in the league. Green is freakin tall (6'10) and is going to be a really good SF in the league. Harris is tuff as nails and versatile as well. all 3 are going to the league.
ive got to throw out a name that would be a great fit for the nuggets to replace camby. Craig Brackins from Iowa State. iowa state is in a rebuilding year and their school isnt getting much attention but Brackins is playing well and has the upside of any big in the draft. Brackins rebounds and blocks shots, hes athletic and very skilled in the post. very developed for a freshmen with a soft touch. His range extends to the three point line. Believe hes shooting 56% from the field.
