With Goldin on the floor his team outscored opponents by +16.3 per 100 possessions, against +2.5 for Maluach; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Maluach $6.3M through 2028-29, Goldin — through —. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
