With Edwards on the floor his team outscored opponents by +3.5 per 100 possessions, against +1.5 for Maxey; 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, Maxey $40.8M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
