Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Kevin Durant scored more in 2025-26, 5.9 points a game apart (26.0 vs 20.1), on Durant's heavier usage (26.3% vs 24.8%).

Durant is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 64.1% to 55.1%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Durant (4.8 vs 3.2 assists), the glass to Adebayo (10.0 vs 5.5 rebounds).

With Adebayo on the floor his team outscored opponents by +6.1 per 100 possessions, against +5.5 for Durant; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Adebayo $49.8M through 2028-29, Durant $43.9M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
