Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Luka Dončić scored more in 2025-26, 4.7 points a game apart (33.5 vs 28.8), on Dončić's heavier usage (36.8% vs 30.9%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (61.7% vs 61.6%).

Playmaking goes to Dončić (8.3 vs 3.7 assists), the glass to Dončić (7.7 vs 5.0 rebounds).

With Dončić on the floor his team outscored opponents by +3.8 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, Dončić $49.8M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
