Where FanVerdicts has weighed in so far: Contract Value Index F, Performance D+, Sentiment C+.
Each GM grade is rolled up from the underlying transactions attributed to that GM's tenure. When a GM signs a player, that signing's Contract Value Index grade flows into the GM's portfolio score; the same player's subsequent performance and sentiment grades flow into the GM's respective summaries. Phased attribution applies for new GMs: the first three years weight the prior GM's legacy deals at 100%/66%/33%, ramping the new GM's ownership of roster outcomes.
For broader context, the NBA hub has team rankings, GM report cards, and the transactions feed. The NBA GM rankings page ranks every front office side-by-side on the same four dimensions.
