Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Mikal Bridges scored more in 2025-26, 0.1 points a game apart (14.4 vs 14.3), on Simons's heavier usage (22.7% vs 17.0%).

Bridges is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 58.7% to 57.6%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Bridges (3.7 vs 2.4 assists), the glass to Bridges (3.8 vs 2.5 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Bridges played 27 more games (82 vs 55 of 82).

With Bridges on the floor his team outscored opponents by +6.0 per 100 possessions, against +3.0 for Simons; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Simons $6.0M through 2027-28, Bridges $33.5M through 2029-30. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
