DENVER – The Denver Nuggets have agreed to trade Nene to the Washington Wizards in exchange for center JaVale McGee and Ronny Turiaf, ESPN reported Thursday.

The Los Angeles Clippers agreed to send Brian Cook and a future second-round pick to the Wizards in exchange for shooting guard Nick Young, according to sources.

Nene has played his entire career (10 seasons) in Denver and has averaged 12.4 points per game.

Denver just committed five-years and $67 million to keep Nene this December.

McGee is a restricted free agent after this season.
