Contract Value Index (CVI)

Below Value
OverpayFair ValueGreat Value
Denver's signing of Tyus Jones earns a D Contract Value Index (CVI) — a cautious move that reflects both the Nuggets' playoff desperation and the marginal return on investment at this stage of the season. Jones enters as a depth-piece contributor at the guard position, tasked with providing ballhandling and floor spacing off the bench in a compressed playoff timeline with the Finals eleven days away. At $514K annually, the deal itself is financially negligible in the context of Denver's salary structure, meaning there's no cap strain or luxury tax escalation to worry about. However, the CVI grade accounts for the timing risk: playoff signings typically yield limited runway for chemistry-building, and a guard rotation adjustment this late carries execution uncertainty when rotations are supposed to be set. The low AAV shields this from being a catastrophic misstep, but it also signals that Denver viewed this as a low-cost, high-floor depth option rather than a transformative addition — the grade reflects a transaction that solves a marginal problem without moving the needle on championship odds.
