DENVER -- The Denver Nuggets took care of their top offseason priority, agreeing to terms with center Marcus Camby on a multiyear contract.

The deal, reached late Thursday, will be signed July 14 after the NBA's moratorium on free-agent signings is lifted, according to Camby's agent, Rick Kaplan. Terms weren't disclosed.

"Marcus thinks the franchise is headed in the right direction," Kaplan said Friday. "From the time he first arrived in Denver to where the franchise is now, it has improved exponentially and he thinks it's only going to get better."

Plagued by injury problems for most of his eight-year career, Camby had perhaps his best season last year.

Playing in a career-high 72 games, Camby averaged 8.6 points, 10.1 rebounds and 2.6 shots to help the Nuggets reach the playoffs for the first time in nine years. In four playoff games against Minnesota, Camby's averages increased to 12.6 points and 11.4 rebounds, and he played a key role in slowing league MVP Kevin Garnett.

"Everybody knows Marcus is the core of our team," Nuggets forward Carmelo Anthony said. "If Marcus is down, we're all down. When Marcus is healthy, we play our best basketball. So for us to get him back, it was great."
