Aaron Gordon's contract with the Denver Nuggets grades as a B- CVI — the team is getting good return on this investment relative to other power forwards around the league. Aaron's production is solid — comfortably above the league-average power forward threshold. His $22.8M average annual value ranks as mid-tier money for the power forward market. The production-to-cost ratio is favorable — solid output at a reasonable price point represents good asset management. At 30, Aaron is in his prime productive window — exactly when teams want their highest-paid players performing at their peak. The 1-year deal limits the Denver Nuggets' downside — if the fit doesn't work, they'll have cap flexibility soon.
