Nuggets send JaVale McGee and a first-rounder to 76ers

The Denver Nuggets have agreed to send JaVale McGee and a first-round pick to the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday, according to a league source.

The Sixers will receive a 2015 protected first-round pick that Denver owned via Oklahoma City and the rights to Chukwudiebere Maduabum, a 2011 second-round draft pick of the Los Angeles Lakers who has played in the D-League and Estonia.

The Nuggets will get the rights to Turkish professional player Cenk Akyol.
