Anthony Edwards vs Nikola Jokic

With Jokic on the floor his team outscored opponents by +10.8 per 100 possessions, against +3.5 for Edwards; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Edwards $48.9M through 2028-29, Jokic $59.0M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
