One of the worst defensive teams a season ago, Denver now has one of the league's best perimeter defenders in Iguodala, who comes to the Nuggets via Thursday's complicated four team trade, a source confirmed. Denver sent starting shooting guard Arron Afflalo and reserve forward Al Harrington to Orland, while acquiring the current Olympian Iguodala. Denver Post

In the proposed four-team deal, sources told Broussard that Howard and Denver Nuggets forward Al Harrington would go to Los Angeles, Lakers forward Pau Gasol and Nuggets guard Arron Afflalo would go to the Orlando Magic, Philadelphia 76ers guard Andre Iguodala would go to Denver, and Lakers center Andrew Bynum would go to Philadelphia.

The deal, as reported by Wojnarowski, would have the Lakers not only giving up Andrew Bynum but also Pau Gasol as well as bringing back forward Al Harrington along with Howard. The Sixers would gain Bynum in exchange for Andre Iguodala, who would go to Denver. The Nuggets would send Arron Afflalo to Orlando (along with Harrington to the Lakers). The Magic would also take on Gasol’s contract along with draft picks and salary cap relief. Multiple sources have confirmed that talks are indeed ongoing although nothing is imminent and that the Yahoo! report isn’t necessarily complete in what players are involved. Naturally, as deals are being negotiated, it can be difficult to lock in the exact parameters given how quickly they change. HoopsWorld

Denver Nuggets forward Al Harrington underwent surgery to fix a torn meniscus in his right knee on Wednesday. Harrington is expected to be back on the court in time for summer workouts. A key reserve, Harrington hurt his knee in a win over the Orlando Magic on April 1, but played through the persistent pain down the stretch. He averaged 14 points and six rebounds during the regular season. Denver Post

Al Harrington will continue to play through knee pain. "It's still sore, no matter how much rest I have," Harrington said of his torn meniscus. "We have no excuses not to come out with a lot of energy. ... I've always said that if I can walk, I can play. I got that attitude from being on a veteran team in Indiana with Antonio Davis, Dale Davis, Reggie Miller, seeing those guys and the stuff they would go through — broken fingers, fractured wrists — and they still would find a way to play."

Wilson Chandler (hip strain) didn't play Wednesday — and coach George Karl said the forward is doubtful for Friday — meaning Denver will be without Chandler's 10.7 points per game as the team tries desperately to crack the postseason. Karl said that "if and when" Chandler gets back, he will be in a similar situation to that of Al Harrington, who is playing with torn meniscus. "His hip is not going to heal this year," Karl said of Chandler. "But can he play and be effective?" Denver Post

Of all the good to come out of the Nuggets' lopsided victory over Golden State Monday night, one thing stung. Al Harrington's knee injury. "Of all of the injuries," coach George Karl said Tuesday after practice. "That one hurt." Harrington told The Denver Post he has a torn meniscus. The Nuggets injury report Tuesday called Harrington's injury a knee sprain, a more generic term that doesn't reveal what ligament is injured, nor to what degree. Still, Harrington could be staring at a reduced role or sitting out altogether depending on how serious the injury is. Either way it's a big blow to a team battling for one of the last playoff spots with nine games to go. The Nuggets host Northwest Division foe Minnesota on Wednesday night. Denver Post

Nuggets forward Al Harrington left Monday night’s game against Golden State at the end of the third quarter and did not return. Afterward he revealed he has a torn meniscus. His loss would be devastating to the Nuggets’ bench and locker room, as he’s been one of the team’s best players and leaders all season long. He’s also been durable, playing in all 57 games this season with averages of roughly 14 points and six rebounds, despite nagging injuries all year long. Denver Post

The old men were so ancient that — gasp! — they were in their late 30s. But Chris Mullin and Sam Perkins were, to be fair, almost twice the age of 18-year-old rookie Al Harrington on the 1998-99 Indiana Pacers. After the Nuggets' practice Monday, Harrington was asked about teammate Danilo Gallinari's shooting slump. Harrington promptly quoted the two elderly sages who advised him in his younger years. "They'd say: 'Keep shooting. You're only one shot away from being on fire,' " Harrington said. "You make one, feel good about yourself, the next one will go down, and you'll be back to being yourself." Denver Post
