Great Value
OverpayFair ValueGreat Value
Keldon Johnson drew an A- on the Contract Value Index — a measured outcome for San Antonio's SF rotation. At $17.5M AAV over two years, Johnson's contract reflects a fair-value alignment between his two-way production and his role as a veteran depth piece in a competitive playoff window; his B+ performance grade and steady A sentiment designation underscore his status as a respected, dependable contributor rather than a max-tier asset. In the 2025-26 season, Johnson produced 13.2 PPG, 5.4 RPG, and 1.4 APG across 82 games, numbers that support his role as a high-volume sixth man without suggesting elite-level impact. At 26 years old and seven seasons into his career, Johnson occupies the sweet spot for a bench-oriented veteran — experienced enough to handle playoff pressure and organizational visibility, yet still capable of meaningful two-way contributions. The Spurs' active support for his Sixth Man of the Year candidacy and the overwhelmingly positive media framing around his transition into a bench leadership role reinforce that this contract reflects genuine organizational confidence in his value to the core. The two-year structure provides modest salary predictability for a franchise in active playoff contention, with no long-term cap overhang; this deal reads as smart roster construction rather than a gamble, exactly what you want from a supporting player on a championship-adjacent team.
