Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Nikola Vučević scored more in 2025-26, 1.5 points a game apart (15.1 vs 13.6), on Vučević's heavier usage (21.3% vs 21.2%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (56.5% vs 57.4%).

Playmaking goes to Vučević (3.3 vs 2.2 assists), the glass to Vučević (8.4 vs 6.2 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Reid played 13 more games (77 vs 64 of 82).

With Reid on the floor his team outscored opponents by +3.2 per 100 possessions, against -1.7 for Vučević; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Reid $23.3M through 2029-30, Vučević $2.4M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
