Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Brook Lopez scored more in 2025-26, 0.2 points a game apart (8.5 vs 8.3), on Lopez's heavier usage (17.1% vs 16.3%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (55.4% vs 55.2%).

Playmaking goes to Horford (2.6 vs 1.3 assists), the glass to Horford (4.9 vs 3.6 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Lopez played 30 more games (75 vs 45 of 82).

With Lopez on the floor his team outscored opponents by +1.2 per 100 possessions, against -0.9 for Horford; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Horford $6.8M through 2027-28, Lopez $9.2M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
