Earl Watson did not pull punches when asked about talk circulating of a possible trade to Seattle.

"I don't believe it's a rumor, but I'm not the one making that decision," said Watson, who has been the subject of trade speculation all season.

"Whoever's making that decision either's got to make it or don't make it. I have nothing against going back to Seattle, especially if I'm not wanted (in Denver)."

He added: "I heard it was up to Denver. Same thing. Somebody's afraid to make that decision. You can't be afraid. Got to go with it. What happens if you let it linger out there like that, like it's been doing, it ends up back-firing, hurting your own team. So I say do it."

Vandeweghe said he would not respond to trade rumors.

One trade possibility among the teams would send Watson and Bryon Russell to Seattle for Ronald "Flip" Murray, Reggie Evans and Vitaly Potapenko, though that would require Denver to create an extra roster spot by moving or waiving a player.

Whatever happens with Watson, the Nuggets hope a month with six home games and three road games fixes their problems.
