With Capela on the floor his team outscored opponents by +8.0 per 100 possessions, against +6.2 for Zikarsky; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Capela $7.0M through 2027-28, Zikarsky — through —. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
