    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Seattle SuperSonics have reached an agreement on a three-way trade that will bring guard Earl Watson back to the Sonics, who drafted him in 2001, ESPN.com's Marc Stein reports.

    The deal, which is expected to be announced later Thursday, sends Seattle forward Reggie Evans and Portland swingman Ruben Patterson to the Nuggets.

    Portland, in its ongoing quest for salary-cap relief, was eager to part with Patterson and acquire Denver guard Voshon Lenard (whose contract expires at season's end) and Seattle center Vitaly Potapenko (who has only one season left on his contract).

    The Sonics also receive a future second-round pick from Denver in the deal, which has been sent to the league office for official approval.

    The Sonics desperately need perimeter defense, and Watson brings that, but I think the team should have traded allen or lewis and brought in some low post scoring and/or defense...

    Good trade for the Nuggets. They just got tougher in a big way and they're a team that nobody wants to face in the playoffs when healthy.
