ATLANTA (CNN/SI) -- The Denver Nuggets have traded Antonio McDyess to
the Phoenix Suns as part of a three-way deal with the Cleveland
Cavaliers, CNN/SI's Jackie MacMullan reports. 

The Nuggets, realizing they could not meet McDyess' more than $100
million long-term contract demand, send him to Phoenix in exchange for
three No. 1 draft picks. 

As part of the deal, the Suns send Wesley Person and Tony Dumas to
Cleveland. In return for Person and Dumas, the Cavs ship a No. 1 pick to
the Suns.
