Ruben Patterson traded to Denver

This is no suprise and I am actually happy for Ruben. He is going to a place where he can be a winner. I will miss his energy. Thankfully we have Viktor to pick up where Rube leaves off. Best of luck to you Ruben! I'm glad you got out.

The deal is a 3-way deal between Seattle, Denver, and Portland. It pans out like this:

Ruben Patterson and Reggie Evans to Denver
Voshon Leonard and Vitaly Potapenko to Portland
REggie Evans and a 2nd round pick from Denver to Seattle.

*UPDATE*
