Contract Value Index (CVI)
Jaylen Brown's massive $27.6M AAV extension with the Celtics earns a D+ CVI despite his elite on-court production, highlighting the dangerous territory Boston has entered in pursuit of championship glory. While Brown has undeniably established himself as a franchise-caliber wing who can create his own shot and defend multiple positions, this contract represents a significant overpay that hamstrings the Celtics' flexibility during their championship window. The four-year commitment pushes Boston deep into luxury tax territory while limiting their ability to make meaningful roster upgrades around Jayson Tatum, especially concerning given Brown's inconsistent playoff performances in crucial moments. At 27, Brown is entering his prime years, but this deal essentially bets that he can elevate his game to a top-15 NBA player level — a projection that feels optimistic given his current trajectory. The contract's trade value also takes a hit due to its size, making it difficult for Boston to pivot if the Tatum-Brown pairing fails to deliver a championship. This is the type of deal that championship-or-bust teams make when they're running out of time, but it's precisely the kind of financial commitment that can prevent you from getting over the hump.
