Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Anthony Edwards scored more in 2025-26, 0.9 points a game apart (28.8 vs 27.9), on Leonard's heavier usage (32.6% vs 30.9%).

Leonard is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 62.9% to 61.7%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Edwards (3.7 vs 3.6 assists), the glass to Leonard (6.4 vs 5.0 rebounds).

With Leonard on the floor his team outscored opponents by +7.5 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, Leonard $50.3M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
