I like it!!!

Pleeese let it be team option 3rd year

As a Bucks fan too I think it's a pretty good signing. He's a shooter/scorer and definitely a hard-worker. Met him a couple times.

good solid moves continue...

i am scared

quick hits

27 years old - 8 year vet w many teams
most games as a starter was 19 in 2013...
career 36.5% 3p%
career 0.6 steals/game
8.5 ppg/ 2.9 assists / 2.1 rpg


i'm still hoping they sign or trade for more of a starter guy and bayless is the backup....but yeah.
it's a start

Eh not a huge fan of bayless but the years and money won't prevent drafting the future PG next year. Could have been worse.

I like it. BC proving me wrong so far. Was patient, didn't overpay for a name. Got a player that fits not only the roster, but the culture of what the Sixers are trying to do.

I'm happy with it to be honest. I know some don't like the 3rd year, but even then he's a 30 year old backup PG who can help compete in the playoffs. SOLID move.

This is a really great move. Exactly what some of us were lobbying for.

I hope it is structured declining.

This guy is solid and you guys needed a real pg in the worst way.

This is good value overall.

A really good fit with Simmons and option off the bench if they can acquire a PG via trade for draft next year. Turns 28 in August so we'll have him in his three prime years pretty much.

Next year: Draft or Trade a good PG/Bayless/TJ

I'm cool

but i really hope, that year 3 has a Team Option.

I have a feeling Bayless is going to end up winning Most Improved Player this upcoming season....won't be surprised if he puts up something like 18/4/4 on 42% shooting.

I like this move...on a really good team; he's a 3rd guard...realistically that will be in 2017 and 18......but for now, he's the type of guard I like with Simmons....definitely better than Ish

Like this, great shooter around Simmons and already 8 years in the league. Not the best defender, but great value for 9 million a year.

I like it, not a great fit with every team, but a solid vet on a reasonable deal (in the new cap era) that is a great fit here with playmaking forwards like Simmons and Saric. Solid.

Not bad, feel like we probably missed on Lin. 2 FG% was rough (40%). Clearly a short term solution preparing for the draft next year.

It's nice that we are getting him in his presumed prime years. Definitely worth the risk.

I like this signing a lot. Gets us that vet, perfect spot up PG alongside Dario and Ben, bigger and better than Canaan (who he's essentially replacing).

Gotta love the move. Assembling some vet shooters to surround Simmons. He should get some good looks this year.
