Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Kawhi Leonard scored more in 2025-26, 7.7 points a game apart (27.9 vs 20.2), on Leonard's heavier usage (32.6% vs 27.2%).

Leonard is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 62.9% to 57.4%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Leonard (3.6 vs 3.3 assists), the glass to Leonard (6.4 vs 4.9 rebounds).

With Miller on the floor his team outscored opponents by +8.5 per 100 possessions, against +7.5 for Leonard; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Miller $15.1M through 2026-27, Leonard $50.3M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
