Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Kevin Durant scored more in 2025-26, 5.8 points a game apart (26.0 vs 20.2), on Miller's heavier usage (27.2% vs 26.3%).

Durant is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 64.1% to 57.4%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Durant (4.8 vs 3.3 assists), the glass to Durant (5.5 vs 4.9 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Durant played 13 more games (78 vs 65 of 82).

With Miller on the floor his team outscored opponents by +8.5 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: Miller $15.1M through 2026-27, Durant $43.9M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
