With Hardaway Jr. on the floor his team outscored opponents by +4.5 per 100 possessions, against -7.9 for Poole; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Poole $34.0M through 2026-27, Hardaway Jr. $6.5M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
