Avdija is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 60.0% to 56.4%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Cunningham (9.9 vs 6.7 assists), the glass to Avdija (6.9 vs 5.5 rebounds).

With Cunningham on the floor his team outscored opponents by +11.4 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: Cunningham $50.1M through 2029-30, Avdija $13.1M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
