Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Anthony Edwards scored more in 2025-26, 3.4 points a game apart (28.8 vs 25.4), on Edwards's heavier usage (30.9% vs 26.9%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (61.7% vs 62.2%).

Playmaking goes to Murray (7.1 vs 3.7 assists), the glass to Edwards (5.0 vs 4.4 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Murray played 14 more games (75 vs 61 of 82).

With Murray on the floor his team outscored opponents by +6.8 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, Murray $50.1M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
