Nets fill need at point guard with former Final Four MVP

After the Nets vexed Portland players and fans by swiping popular big man Ed Davis, Saturday they went back and added sixth man Shabazz Napier.

Brooklyn handed Napier a solid birthday present, a two-year free-agent contract first reported by ESPN and confirmed by The Post.

After the Nets culled their point guard glut by dealing away both the oft-injured Jeremy Lin and the little-used Isaiah Whitehead, they added Napier to a mix that also includes D’Angelo Russell, Spencer Dinwiddie, Caris LeVert and possibly Milton Doyle, who was on a two-way deal last season and played for them in summer league.
