The Denver Nuggets have agreed to trade center Steven Hunter to the Memphis Grizzlies according to multiple sources close to the team. The move will save the Nuggets a little over $3.5 million next season.
Yahoo! Sports is reporting that the Nuggets will also include a lottery protected 2010 first round pick in the deal with Denver getting a future second round pick in return.
Hunter's career was in doubt last season when it was announced he was going to have knee surgery. However, after the surgery was completed, it was announced that the injury was not career threatening.
In addition to saving the Nuggets money, the move will also open up an extra roster spot thus giving the Nuggets more flexibility moving forward this offseason.

So who's going to be the 2-3 guys we are going to sign to fill the roster spots? Karl, Dupree, some big name FA that's still out there?
