# Keshon Gilbert – Atlanta Hawks Signing The Hawks' signing of Keshon Gilbert earns a C+ Contract Value Index (CVI), reflecting a low-cost depth addition that carries minimal financial risk but offers limited upside in a critical playoff window. At $559K on a one-year deal, this is a true replacement-level minimum contract — the kind of transaction used to round out a roster without meaningful cap consequence. For a team sitting at the #6 seed with the Finals just over a week away, the value proposition hinges entirely on whether Gilbert can provide credible rotation minutes or emergency depth; at this price point, the Hawks are essentially paying for availability rather than proven production. The CVI grade reflects the reality that even a modest on-court contribution would justify the investment, but the contract offers no upside leverage and assumes Gilbert remains a fringe contributor rather than a surprise rotation asset. With Atlanta's Contract Value Index cooling off across the portfolio (down from A+ to C+ over the last month), this low-stakes signing is unlikely to move the needle either way — it's the definition of organizational housekeeping during a playoff push.
