Furness: It's a 4-team dealIan Furness at SportsRadio 1080 The Fan e-mails with this updated info he reported on the air just moments ago:My sources (both in Seattle and Denver) telling me it is now a 4 team deal.... I just reported this on the air about 15 minutes ago.Seattle, Sacramento, Portland, and DenverPortland: Brian Skinner, Voshon LeonardSacramento: Potapenko, Sergei MoniaSeattle: Watson, Bryon Russell, 2nd round pickDenver: Ruben Patterson, Charles Smith, Reggie EvansThe call is being made to the league right now--
I think Denver got this one. They didn't need Earl Watson and they got a really good rebounder in Evans and a decent, scrappy SF.
They easily won this deal, although Seattle helped themselves as well. Denver is the clear cut winner here, though, Patterson is a spark plug who is tough nosed guy that is a solid defender and Evans gives them insurance for their oft-injured big guys going down the stretch..

I'm a Spurs fan, and i dont like the Nuggets gettign Evans and Patterson, because IMO they got stronger, getting rid of dead weight in Russell and Watson, and Lenard who hasnt really done much in Denver, so good trade for Denver, and not too bad for Sacto as they got rid of Skinners contract and brought in some young guys. Cept Potapenko, but i believe hes in the final year of his contract anyways.
