DENVER (Ticker) -- The Denver Nuggets continued to add to their frontcourt depth, signing center Mark Blount to a one-year contract on Thursday.

Financial terms were not disclosed, but the Denver Post reported that Blount will receive $788,000.

"We're excited to add another solid big man like Mark," Nuggets general manager Kiki Vandeweghe. "He is a hard worker and he improves our depth in our frontcourt."

Vandeweghe acquired oft-injured center Marcus Camby from the New York Knicks in a draft day deal for Antonio McDyess, added Nikoloz Tskitishvili, a 7-footer from the Republic of Georgia, and Brazilian forward Maybyner "Nene" Hilario in the draft and obtained forward-center Don Reid from the Orlando Magic.

The 7-foot Blount appeared in 44 games for the Boston Celtics last season and averaged 2.1 points and 1.9 rebounds in 9.4 minutes.

As a rookie in 2000-01, Blount averaged 3.9 points and 3.6 rebounds in 64 games for the Celtics. He started 50 games and led the team with 76 blocked shots.
