Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Stephen Curry scored more in 2025-26, 3.3 points a game apart (26.6 vs 23.3), on Curry's heavier usage (30.8% vs 25.8%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (64.1% vs 63.7%).

Playmaking goes to Reaves (5.5 vs 4.7 assists), the glass to Reaves (4.7 vs 3.6 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Reaves played 8 more games (51 vs 43 of 82).

With Reaves on the floor his team outscored opponents by +5.0 per 100 possessions, against +2.8 for Curry; 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, Curry $62.6M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
