With James on the floor his team outscored opponents by +2.6 per 100 possessions, against -5.6 for Siakam; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.
On the books for 2026-27: James $3.9M through 2027-28, Siakam $48.9M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
