Orlando's Shabazz Napier likely headed to Portland
The Orlando Magic are working on a deal that will send point guard Shabazz Napier to the Portland Trail Blazers, according to Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel.
What It Means:
The rumored returned is believed to be just cash considerations, with Napier becoming Damian Lillard's backup. The soon-to-be 25 year-old has just 10 starts in his NBA career and heading into next season, he doesn't carry much fantasy value.
Napier struggled to a -2.5 nERD last season, which ranked 104th, in 55 games played. He averaged 3.7 points, 1.8 assists, and 1.0 rebounds in 10.9 minutes per game, while posting a poor .460 true shooting percentage.
