Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Deni Avdija scored more in 2025-26, 4.0 points a game apart (24.2 vs 20.2), on Avdija's heavier usage (28.5% vs 27.2%).

Avdija is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 60.0% to 57.4%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Avdija (6.7 vs 3.3 assists), the glass to Avdija (6.9 vs 4.9 rebounds).

With Miller on the floor his team outscored opponents by +8.5 per 100 possessions, against +0.3 for Avdija; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Miller $15.1M through 2026-27, Avdija $13.1M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
