Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Anthony Edwards scored more in 2025-26, 2.8 points a game apart (28.8 vs 26.0), on Edwards's heavier usage (30.9% vs 26.3%).

Durant is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 64.1% to 61.7%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Durant (4.8 vs 3.7 assists), the glass to Durant (5.5 vs 5.0 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Durant played 17 more games (78 vs 61 of 82).

With Durant on the floor his team outscored opponents by +5.5 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, Durant $43.9M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
