The Portland Trailblazers exercised the fourth-year option of backup point guard Shabazz Napier's rookie contract (The Oregonian)
Fantasy Impact:
Napier's competing for bench minutes and due to the rookie scale, it was pretty much a gimme that his fourth-year option was exercised, but the Trail Blazers seem to have high hopes for Napier as their backup to Damian Lillard. So even though Napier will start off the season in limited minutes, should a Lillard injury occur, he'll be the ideal replacement.
