Nate Robinson is set to join another NBA roster after agreeing to a two-year contract with the Denver Nuggets on Monday, worth just more than $4 million, league sources have confirmed.

In his career-high 82 games last season with the Chicago Bulls, Robinson averaged 13.2 points per game and 4.4 assists. Although he was primarily a backup in his only season with the Bulls in the absence of Derrick Rose, Robinson proved to be a spark that the Bulls needed in the postseason as he averaged 16.3 points per game.

Robinson joins Lawson to give the Nuggets a tandem that can fly up and down the floor. The addition of Robinson also creates a backlog in the backcourt, with the Nuggets already having up-and-comer Evan Fournier, veteran Andre Miller, rookie Erick Green and newly acquired Randy Foye.

Since being drafted in 2005, Robinson has averaged 11.5 points over eight seasons where he played for the Bulls, Golden State Warriors, Oklahoma City Thunder, Boston Celtics and New York Knicks.

As a member of the Nuggets he'll be reunited with former Knicks players Wilson Chandler and Danilo Gallinari.

With the addition of Robinson, the team now has six new players on the roster, along with a first-year head coach.
