Sonny Weems was a Chicago Bull. And then he wasn't.
Fifteen minutes after being selected by the Bulls with the 39th overall pick in Thursday night's NBA Draft, Weems received a phone call from his agent, Roger Montgomery.
Forget about Chicago, Montgomery said, and get ready for Denver.
"He just told me I got traded to the Nuggets," Weems said Thursday night. "That was fine by me. I think Denver wanted me all along. I talked to their general manager and head coach, and they said they were excited about it."
The Nuggets didn't draft anyone because they had traded away their two selections - a first-round pick to Charlotte and a second-rounder to Seattle. As part of the trade, which was pending NBA approval late Thursday night, Chicago will receive a second-round pick in the 2009 draft from Denver.
