from the numbers above

DeMar DeRozan scored more in 2025-26, 0.1 points a game apart (18.4 vs 18.3), on DeRozan's heavier usage (22.2% vs 19.5%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (59.4% vs 59.4%).

Playmaking goes to Thompson (5.3 vs 4.1 assists), the glass to Thompson (7.8 vs 2.9 rebounds).

With Thompson on the floor his team outscored opponents by +6.6 per 100 possessions, against -11.7 for DeRozan; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Thompson $12.3M through 2031-32, DeRozan — through —. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
