Report: Nuggets Trade Troubled Ty Lawson To The Houston Rockets

DENVER (CBS4) - Yahoo Sports is reporting that the Denver Nuggets have made a deal to trade troubled guard Ty Lawson to the Houston Rockets.

Yahoo Sports, citing a league source, is reporting that the Rockets will send Kostas Papanikolaou, Pablo Prigioni, Joey Dorsey, Nick Johnson and a protected 2016 first-round draft pick to Denver.

The Nuggets will send a 2017 second-round pick to the Rockets.

Lawson made the news last week after being arrested for his second DUI in seven months and it didn't appear he would remain with the team much longer, especially after the Nuggets drafted guard Emmanuel Mudiay.
