Contract Value Index (CVI)
Goga Bitadze's 2-year, $8M AAV extension with Orlando earns a C- CVI, reflecting a contract that's neither egregious nor particularly savvy for a serviceable starter at center. The Magic are paying market rate for a big man who can provide adequate rim protection and rebounding in spot duty, but $8M annually feels steep for someone who's struggled to carve out consistent minutes across multiple organizations. Orlando's decision makes sense within their championship timeline — they're still building around Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner, so locking up frontcourt depth without breaking the bank preserves flexibility while Wendell Carter Jr. anchors the five. The deal's two-year structure works in the Magic's favor, allowing them to reassess Bitadze's role as their young core develops without creating long-term salary cap complications. From a trade value perspective, the contract is neither an asset nor a burden — serviceable centers on reasonable deals can always find a home, but Bitadze's limited offensive upside caps his appeal to contending teams seeking playoff-ready rotation pieces.
