Contract Value Index (CVI)
Cameron Johnson's two-year, $21.1M AAV deal earns a C CVI, reflecting a contract that feels slightly bloated given his current production level. The 30-year-old forward is averaging 11.9 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 2.3 assists across 47 games this season, numbers that fall short of justifying his salary for a role player in today's market. While his floor-spacing ability remains valuable for Denver's system, the combination of injury concerns and a PER of 11.8 suggests he's not maximizing his contract value as a seven-year veteran in what should be his prime years. The media narrative around Johnson is cautiously optimistic following his return from a six-week knee injury absence, but there's acknowledgment that his modest scoring output and bench role create a disconnect with his $22.1M annual price tag. Denver clearly views him as a reliable contributor rather than a cornerstone piece, which makes this deal feel like a slight overpay for what he's currently delivering. The relatively short two-year term does provide some flexibility, preventing this from becoming a long-term albatross if his production continues to underwhelm.
