Overpaying on contracts

OverpayFair ValueGreat Value

The Detroit Pistons have been paying a premium this season, with several contracts that outpace the expected production level. Across 4 contracts, 0 grade out as good value and 3 look like overpays based on comparable deals around the league. The best bang-for-the-buck deal was Kevin Huerter (C-) at $18.0M/yr — getting guard production well above the price point. The priciest commitment relative to production was Daniss Jenkins (D-). Cap flexibility could become a concern if these contracts don't produce at the expected level.
