Amir Coffey

Contract Value Index (CVI)

Amir Coffey's value math nets a C Contract Value Index relative to the league median at SG. At $2.3M AAV on a one-year deal, Coffey is operating at the sub-rotation salary tier, and his 2025-26 production—2.9 PPG, 1.2 RPG, and 0.6 APG across 43 games—reflects exactly what you'd expect from a depth wing at that price point: functional, unspectacular, and appropriately compensated. The Contract Value Index grades this as fair value rather than a bargain or overpay because the Suns are paying for depth-piece output and receiving depth-piece output; there's no gap between expectation and delivery. At 29 years old in his seventh NBA season, Coffey is a known commodity—the media framing pegs him correctly as a "ready-made" role player, not a prospect or a reclamation project—and a one-year term insulates Phoenix from aging-curve risk while keeping cap flexibility intact. The real value question isn't whether $2.3M is too much for a contributor of his caliber; it's whether the team needed that depth slot filled at all, and whether the organizational breadth at wing (evidenced by the recent signings mentioned in the sentiment context) suggests this salary could have been deployed more strategically elsewhere. On the contract itself, Coffey earns his fair-value grade: modest player, modest price, modest return.
