Overpaying on contracts

OverpayFair ValueGreat Value

The San Antonio Spurs have been paying a premium this season, with several contracts that outpace the expected production level. Across 4 contracts, 1 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 Mason Plumlee (A+) at $0.6M/yr — getting forward production well above the price point. The priciest commitment relative to production was Jeremy Sochan (D-) — the forward market may have been richer than the on-court return suggests. Cap flexibility could become a concern if these contracts don't produce at the expected level.
