ESPN.com reports that the Denver Nuggets and Boston Celtics have agreed to a minor deal. The Celtics will trade guard Shammond Williams, cash and a second round pick to the Denver Nuggets in exchange for center Mark Blount and forward Mark Bryant.

The deal was to be officially announced later Thursday.

Williams, a fifth-year guard, was Boston's third-string playmaker, behind J.R. Bremer and Tony Delk. With the Nuggets, he will join Chris Whitney and rookie Junior Harrington as the point guards on the team with the league's second-worst record (12-43).

Williams averaged 7.3 points and 2.5 assists in 51 games for the Celtics
