Nassir Little and Cameron Johnson start their fourth NBA seasons Wednesday and sought extensions of their rookie contracts, but only Little was able to strike a deal. Little agreed to a four-year $28-million contract extension with Portland. He could have declined and hoped for a bigger deal if he had a breakout season. He opted for financial security.
