That poor season parlayed into a top pick in the draft, which the Nuggets used to select Carmelo Anthony. With a surefire star in Anthony now on board, Vandeweghe was able to concede failure and package White with fellow bust Nikoloz Tskitishvili. Late in the 2004-2005 season, the pair was dealt to the Golden State Warriors in exchange for Eduardo Nájera, Luis Flores, and a future first round pick. The pick was later sent to the Philadelphia 76ers as part of the Allen Iverson trade.
