 Orlando Magic guard Jameer Nelson (14) goes to the basket the Denver Nuggets acquired Jameer Nelson from the Boston Celtics in exchange for Nate Robinson, in a swap of reserve guards. "We are excited to add a player of Jameer's calibre to our roster," Denver general manager and executive vice president Tim Connelly said on the Nuggets website. "We have no doubt that his experience and veteran leadership will be of value to our team." Nelson, a 10-year-veteran, is expected to spell starting point guard Ty Lawson in the rotation. It's the second time Nelson has been traded in less than a month. The former All-Star spent his first nine years with Orlando before signing with Dallas as a free agent in the off-season. But the Mavericks moved him to the Celtics as part of the deal that brought them Rajon Rondo on December 18. But with a surplus of guards, Nelson played in just six games for Boston. For his career, Nelson own averages of 12.3 points and 5.3 assists. The Celtics, meanwhile, pick up the streaky-shooting sparkplug Robinson, who averaged 8.4 points and 2.5 assists in his two-plus seasons in Denver. For his 10-year NBA career, the journeyman Robinson has averaged 11.1 points and 2.4 assists in 607 games with Denver, Chicago, Golden State, Oklahoma City, Boston and New York. "I want to thank Nate for his time here with us in Denver," said Connelly. "He always came ready to play and brought that same intensity every day in practice. We wish him the very best as he continues in his career." | |||||
