Cameron Payne's one-year, $713K deal with the Philadelphia Sixers earns a C CVI — a fair market-rate signing for a veteran depth piece coming off modest production. The 31-year-old backup point guard is averaging 7.6 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 2.9 assists across 18 games this season, numbers that align with his D+ performance grade and established veteran status after 11 NBA seasons. At barely above the league minimum, Philadelphia secured reliable insurance at the point guard position without significant financial risk, a sensible move for a team that's been active in the trade and signing market recently. Payne's veteran presence provides exactly what the Sixers needed — a competent reserve who can manage the offense in limited minutes without breaking the bank. The modest one-year term keeps Philadelphia's flexibility intact while addressing immediate depth concerns, making this a low-risk addition that fits the team's current evaluation mode.
