Hickson signs three-year deal with Denver

Power forward J.J. Hickson signed a three-year, $15 million contract with the Denver Nuggets.

Hickson joins an explosive front line for the Nuggets that includes JaVale McGee and Kenneth Faried.

Hickson said Thursday he was told he'd compete with Faried in a friendly competition for minutes for first-year coach Brian Shaw.

The Nuggets also officially acquired Randy Foye in a three-way deal that sent Andre Iguodala to the Golden State Warriors.
