Contract Value Index (CVI)
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's contract with the Oklahoma City Thunder grades out as a good value contract, earning a B CVI grade. At $39.6M per year over 2 years, this is a max contract at the maximum allowed salary. Shai's deal falls in the max tier for NBA Point Guards. At 27 years old, Shai is in or near prime years, which supports the investment. The max contract structure means Shai's salary is artificially capped — the CVI accounts for the compression between market value and allowed salary. This contract should provide positive value over its duration if performance holds steady.
