Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Steven Adams scored more in 2025-26, 0.1 points a game apart (5.8 vs 5.7), on Missi's heavier usage (12.2% vs 11.6%).

Missi is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 55.6% to 53.5%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Adams (1.5 vs 1.3 assists), the glass to Adams (8.6 vs 5.8 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Missi played 34 more games (66 vs 32 of 82).

With Adams on the floor his team outscored opponents by +11.8 per 100 possessions, against -1.3 for Missi; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Adams $13.0M through 2027-28, Missi $3.5M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
