The Seattle SuperSonics announced today they have acquired Earl Watson, Bryon Russell and a 2008 second-round draft pick from the Denver Nuggets in a four-team, nine-player trade including Portland and Sacramento.

As part of the deal, Denver will receive Seattle’s Reggie Evans and Portland’s Ruben Patterson and Charles Smith. In addition, Seattle’s Vitaly Potapenko and Portland’s Sergei Monia will join Sacramento while Denver’s Voshon Lenard and Sacramento’s Brian Skinner head to Portland.

“We drafted Earl in 2001 after his solid career at UCLA, and it will be great to have him back with the Sonics,” said Sonics General Manager Rick Sund. “With his talent, we’ll have a good flow at the point-guard position. We thank Reggie and Vitaly for their hard work over the past few years and wish them the best of luck in Denver and Sacramento.”
