Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Kevin Durant scored more in 2025-26, 2.7 points a game apart (26.0 vs 23.3), on Durant's heavier usage (26.3% vs 25.8%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (64.1% vs 64.1%).

Playmaking goes to Reaves (5.5 vs 4.8 assists), the glass to Durant (5.5 vs 4.7 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Durant played 27 more games (78 vs 51 of 82).

With Durant on the floor his team outscored opponents by +5.5 per 100 possessions, against +5.0 for Reaves; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Reaves $41.2M through 2029-30, Durant $43.9M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
