Solid depth addition for San Antonio's playoff push via 10-day contract. Multiple outlets covered Plumlee's flagrant foul in Game 5, highlighting his aggressive defensive presence. Signing a veteran big mid-season shows Spurs addressing frontcourt depth needs pragmatically. Fans view this as a low-risk, high-upside rotation piece for playoff rotation. Plumlee's impact depends entirely on whether San Antonio extends or pursues buyout alternatives.

Contract Value Index (CVI)
C+
Fair Value
OverpayFair ValueGreat Value
Mason Plumlee's signing by San Antonio earns a C+ Contract Value Index (CVI), reflecting a modest but defensible depth addition at a league-minimum price point. At $593,864 AAV, this is replacement-level compensation for a veteran depth piece — exactly what you'd expect for a low-risk roster filler in the final stretch of a season where the Spurs sit at 62-20 and a Western Conference #2 seed with playoff contention on the line. The value equation here is straightforward: San Antonio is paying almost nothing for veteran familiarity and floor-spacing versatility late in the year, which carries minimal downside risk in terms of salary burden or cap flexibility. However, the modest CVI grade reflects that this signing doesn't move the needle on the roster; it's a prudent depth insurance move rather than a statement about adding meaningful playoff rotation depth. For a franchise sitting two wins away from the Finals in 11 days, this is the kind of transaction that should slip quietly into the roster without fanfare — low cost, low ceiling, low risk.
