Best Answer

They could not afford his salary. A player of that much skill and talent needed a higher salary, and the 76ers did not have that kind of money, so the Denver Nuggets bought him out..........Allen Iverson was on the last year of his Nuggets contract, and Denver traded him to the Detroit Pistons for Chauncey Billups, Antonio McDyess, and Cheikh Samb; Antonio McDyess chose not to play with the Nuggets, so they let him go, and the Pistons got him back.

Is Allen Iverson better than Chris Paul?

This is a tough question, considering Chris Paul is just getting into his prime (if he isn't good enough already) while Allen Iverson, on the other hand, is just about to retire. In their primes, I would have to go with Chris Paul still, just because he does much more than just score.CP3 is way betterAllen Iverson is better because Chris Paul is younger and he is in still just coming into the game. When Allen Iverson was coming into the game he was the coolest thing. So the question should be who was better in their rookie years and the answer would be Allen Iverson
