Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Anthony Edwards scored more in 2025-26, 4.9 points a game apart (28.8 vs 23.9), on Edwards's heavier usage (30.9% vs 29.6%).

Edwards is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 61.7% to 56.4%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Cunningham (9.9 vs 3.7 assists), the glass to Cunningham (5.5 vs 5.0 rebounds).

With Cunningham on the floor his team outscored opponents by +11.4 per 100 possessions, against +3.5 for Edwards; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Edwards $48.9M through 2028-29, Cunningham $50.1M through 2029-30. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
