Nuggets acquire Patterson, Evans; send Watson to Sonics
According to ESPN.com the Denver Nuggets will acquire Ruben Patterson and Reggie Evans and send Earl Watson to the Seattle SuperSonics. The Portland Trailblazers get Nuggets guard Voshon Lenard and Sonics center Vitaly Potapenko as part of this three-team deal. Portland's Charles Smith will end up with the Nuggets as well in this deal.

UPDATE:
The details have changed a bit:
Seattle center Vitaly Potapenko and Blazers guard Sergei Monia were sent to Sacramento, which moved forward/center Brian Skinner to Portland.

So the Trailblazers get Skinner instead of Potapenko. This it not a bad deal for Portland and Skinner of course. Skinner is a good rebounder and can block shots when he gets to play that is! Makes you wonder what Sacramento's long-term plans are for the center position. This leaves them with Jamal Sampson behind Brad Miller; maybe the plan is to play Shareef Abdur-Rahim more at this position. Kenny Thomas has been filling the starting power forward role lately since Adbur-Rahim's broken jaw injury.
