Contract Value Index (CVI)
Michael Porter Jr.'s contract with the Brooklyn Nets grades out as a slightly below-market contract, earning a D+ CVI grade. At $39.6M per year over 2 years, this is a max contract at the maximum allowed salary. Michael's deal falls in the max tier for NBA Small Forwards. At 27 years old, Michael is in or near prime years, which supports the investment. The max contract structure means Michael's salary is artificially capped — the CVI accounts for the compression between market value and allowed salary. The team will need Michael to significantly improve to justify this financial commitment.
