The Warriors' decision to re-sign Gui Santos at $1.7M AAV represents a low-risk developmental gamble that earns a **C- CVI**, reflecting modest value in a deal that's more about roster depth than meaningful impact. While Santos showed flashes of potential in limited minutes last season, locking in a forward who remains largely unproven at just $1.7M annually makes financial sense for a franchise already deep in luxury tax territory. The contract keeps Golden State's championship window flexibility intact by avoiding any significant long-term commitment, though Santos' limited trade value and uncertain role behind established wings like Andrew Wiggins and Jonathan Kuminga raise questions about the actual utility of this extension. For a team desperately seeking cost-controlled contributors to complement their aging core, Santos represents the type of lottery ticket signing that could pay dividends if his shooting and athleticism translate to consistent NBA production. The **C- CVI** reflects a deal that's neither particularly savvy nor problematic — just a standard developmental flier that won't move the needle for Golden State's title aspirations but won't hurt their flexibility either.
