Seattle snares guard Watson in trade deadline deal

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Point guard Earl Watson is leaving Denver for his old team Seattle after a four-way trade deadline deal on Thursday involving the Nuggets, SuperSonics, Portland Trail Blazers and Sacramento Kings.
The complicated deal is the only one yet to be disclosed on a relatively quiet trade deadline, though swaps are often announced later in the day after administrative details are agreed.
Watson, who was averaging 7.5 points and 3.5 assists for the Nuggets, will rejoin Seattle which picked him up at number 40 in the 2001 draft.
Denver also sent swingman Bryon Russell and a 2008 second-round pick to the Sonics.
The Nuggets received Sonics rebounding forward Reggie Evans, Portland's swingman Ruben Patterson and guard Charles Smith.
Portland picked up Nuggets guard Voshon Lenard and center Brian Skinner from Sacramento, who acquired Sonics center Vitaly Potapenko and Portland guard Sergei Monia in the deal.
