Contract Value Index (CVI)
Joe Ingles' one-year, $2.3M deal with Minnesota earns a B+ CVI, representing solid value for a rotational player who brings exactly what contending teams need. At 37, the Australian wing may have lost a step athletically, but his basketball IQ and three-point shooting remain elite assets that translate perfectly to playoff basketball. The Timberwolves locked up a proven veteran who can space the floor and make winning plays without demanding significant touches or disrupting their core rotation. From a salary cap perspective, this is textbook smart roster construction — Minnesota gets a reliable contributor at the veteran minimum while preserving flexibility to add other pieces around their Anthony Edwards-Karl-Anthony Towns foundation. The short-term commitment also allows the Wolves to reassess their needs next summer without being hamstrung by a longer deal for an aging player. While Ingles won't move the needle dramatically, he's the type of savvy, low-maintenance veteran who can provide crucial minutes during a championship push, making this B+ CVI deal a shrewd addition to their rotation.
