PG. . Andre Miller. 18. player. 93. <strong>How acquired:</strong> Trade, Denver Nuggets, Dec. 19, 2006.

It was a franchise-changing trade in December 2006 when the Philadelphia 76ers sent Allen Iverson and Ivan McFarlin to the Denver Nuggets in exchange for Andre Miller, Joe Smith and two first-round picks in 2007.

Miller had to replace a legendary figure in Iverson and he handled it admirably until leaving to sign as a free agent with the Portland Trail Blazers in July 2009.
