Denver, CO (My Sportsbook) - The Denver Nuggets acquired center Johan Petro and a second-round pick in 2009 from the Oklahoma City Thunder in exchange for guard Chucky Atkins, a conditional 2009 pick and cash considerations. Petro averaged 4.6 points and 4.3 rebounds per game in 22 contests for the club formerly known as the Seattle SuperSonics, who sport the NBA's worst record at 5-30. The Parisian and 25th overall selection by Seattle in 2005 has averaged 5.7 points and 4.5 rebounds per contest over 243 games in three-plus seasons. Atkins, in his second season with Denver, was connecting for 1.9 points and 2.0 assists per game in 14 appearances this season. Now in his 10th NBA campaign, Atkins averages 10.4 points, 3.6 assists and 1.8 rebounds per game with seven prior clubs.
