NBA News 2012: Iguodala Expects To Fit In Well With Nuggets

Andre Iguodala believes he’ll be a good fit with the Nuggets.

“I think my strengths as a player fit in very well with Coach (George) Karl's system and the way he likes to play,” Iguodala said. “I like a more up-tempo game, and I know this team gets up and down the floor being among the league leaders in scoring and possessions per game last year."

Denver traded Arron Afflalo and Al Harrington for Iguodala.

"To get a player like that, you obviously have to give up a lot,” team president Josh Kroenke said. “We lost two leaders in Arron and Al, but we feel good headed into the season and added a dimension that’s rare in basketball – an All-Star who can do a little bit of everything and doesn’t need to get you 30 points to win.

“He just represented his country alongside other elite NBA players and brought home a gold medal. Andre is unquestionably a huge addition to our team."

NBA News 2011: Lakers strike down latest rumor of four-player deal involving Carmelo Anthony

There’s another trade rumor involving the Lakers and the Denver Nuggets about a possible four-player deal, but a Lakers official, who declined to talk publicly, steadfastly denied it.

The scenario: the Lakers would trade center Andrew Bynum and Ron Artest for forwards Carmelo Anthony and Al Harrington. But the Lakers denied it was on the table in the first place and insisted team executive Jim Buss and General Manager Mitch Kupchak were on the same page as far as trade opportunities.

Coach Phil Jackson chuckled at the rumors in general after the Lakers practiced Wednesday in Boston. “I haven't even entertained it,” Jackson said of trading for Anthony. “My first thought is why are these [media] people interrupting my life with these kind of rumors.”

NBA News 2010: Will Kevin Durant Repeat As the NBA Scoring Champion?

Now, with LeBron down in South Beach, Durant's greatest scoring competition just paired himself with the NBA's No. 5 scorer from last season, Dwyane Wade. Throw in the fact that the No. 3 scorer in the league last year, Carmelo Anthony, just got a veritable chucker in Al Harrington as a new teammate this summer, and you realize that three of Durant's four toughest competitors should score less this season.

Then, there's Kobe. Again, you guys can count Kobe out of this if you want to. If he's smart, he'll realize he's got Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum and a whole bunch of role players to pour in the points; the Lakers don't need him to drop 30 a night. But if that switch goes off in Kobe's head, and he dedicates himself to winning this year's scoring title, Durant may stand no chance against the Black Mamba.
