Default If the Knicks - Nuggets Brawl Never happened, would AI be in DEN?

Simple question:

If the Knicks / Nuggets brawl never happened, then Carmelo is not suspended for 15 games. If Carmelo is not suspended for 15 games, then how likely is it that the Nuggets trade for AI?

In other words, I want to know how the Knicks - Nuggets brawl may or may not have influenced AI ending up in Denver.

Think about, if the brawl and Carmelo's suspension did indeed push DEN to trade for AI, and AI eventually wins an NBA championship, then that means that a simple hard foul by Mardy Collins and some instigation on the part of Nate the Great ended up changing the NBA for several seasons in a drastic way. Wow.

This question was asked and answered in the original "Iverson traded to Denver" thread.

I know nothing about basketball. I have a question that I haven't seen addressed here.

Did all of the suspensions prompt this deal? Was Denver seriously considering going after this guy before the suspensions?

Denver has had a base package of their 2 1st round 2007 picks and Joe Smith (who is expiring salary cap space) on the table since AI demanded the trade some two weeks ago. The Nugs and Sixers discussed a similar structured deal for AI in the offseason.
