Playmaking goes to Carter Jr. (2.0 vs 1.4 assists), the glass to Raynaud (7.5 vs 7.4 rebounds).

With Carter Jr. on the floor his team outscored opponents by +2.2 per 100 possessions, against -10.9 for Raynaud; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Raynaud $2.2M through 2027-28, Carter Jr. $18.1M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
