Contract Value Index (CVI)
Jeremiah Fears' four-year, $3.9M AAV deal with the Pelicans earns a B+ CVI, representing solid value for a young point guard who projects as a reliable starter in this league. At under $4 million annually, New Orleans secures cost-controlled production from a player entering his prime development years, creating significant salary cap flexibility to build around their core. The contract structure allows the Pelicans to maintain championship-building maneuverability while locking up a solid starter at the league's most important position — something that typically costs $12-15 million in today's market. Fears' timeline aligns perfectly with New Orleans' competitive window, as his four-year commitment covers the crucial development phase where young point guards typically make their leap from promising to proven. The deal also creates excellent trade value down the line, as teams consistently covet starting-caliber point guards on reasonable contracts. While this isn't the elite-tier bargain that transforms franchises, it's exactly the type of smart, foundational move that allows championship contenders to allocate resources where they matter most.
