The biggest recent swings in our NBA grades — who is climbing, who is sliding, and the deals where pay and value have drifted furthest apart.
An NBA season turns fast, and so do our grades. A trade, an extension, or a two-week hot streak can reshape a player’s verdict in a single refresh. This page tracks those swings — who is rising and who is fading.
The Contract Value Index (CVI), our flagship contract-value grade, leads the board, because nowhere does value shift faster than when money meets a changing role. Impact and performance movers follow, catching the trends the standings have started to reflect.
It is a momentum read, not a ranking: less about where a player sits and more about which way he is trending.
Movers compare each player's two most recent grade snapshots over the last 30 days. We show how far the letter grade moved, never the underlying number. New deals and stat updates feed the next refresh.
NBA contracts whose Contract Value Index (CVI) grade climbed the most over the last 30 days, as production caught up to — or outran — the money.
Deals whose Contract Value Index grade dropped the most — the contracts aging fastest against their cost.

Every time our pipeline regrades a NBA player, it logs a snapshot. A mover is a player whose latest snapshot lands in a different letter tier than the one before it. We surface the largest tier swings — up and down — across the Contract Value Index and Performance grades. Grades shift as new games, contracts, and context arrive. Read the full methodology.
