Contract Value Index (CVI)
Nikola Jokic's contract with the Denver Nuggets grades out as a fair market value contract, earning a C+ CVI grade. At $38.1M per year over 3 years, this is a max contract at the maximum allowed salary. Nikola's deal falls in the max tier for NBA Centers. At 31, Nikola still has productive years ahead, though the contract extends into the decline phase. The max contract structure means Nikola's salary is artificially capped — the CVI accounts for the compression between market value and allowed salary. The deal will need consistent performance to grade out as a positive move long-term.
