    It's a shame he can't shoot at NBA level.

    42.3 3pt% not enough? :confused: Notice that on a good team he would tone his shooting down and knock down open 3s.

    At least better than AB or overpaying Lin.

    I would take Sessions over Bayless.

    About the same to me, except Bayless is younger.

    16m/4 years, Bayless will be the MIP (17pt/6ass)

    I'll take Goran Dragic.

    What, too soon?

    Sessions got that experience. The team has to get some type of leadership at the guard position. If Kevin Martin isn't a leadership for the guard, then who is?

    Bayless will be better than Dragic and Session

    I'd love to have him at about 3 years/9mil.

    I think he could realistically be had at that price too, especially since we can guarantee him the starting spot.

    I'd imagine he'll command closer to 5- 6 / yr...... might seem like a lot, NOW....just wait.

    While I think he could be had for less, I'd be willing to pay him that kind of money were it my decision.

    No matter how you swing it, we now NEED a PG, and of the available options Bayless is the only one both deserving of that kind of money and still young enough to become something MORE.

    I could legitimately see him becoming our next diamond in the rough PG... again.

    Definitely worth signing for the Rockets. He's young and improved a lot last year. If he can be signed to a reasonable 3 year deal then that would be great.

    This is somewhat the point of the Hollinger article I listed above, which was looking for the next Mr. (Brandon) Wright.

    I hope this wasn't so long as to vilate fair use. Link to the full read -- http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=258253

    Bayless wouldn't be a bad pickup if the price is right.
