George is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 60.9% to 56.4%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Cunningham (9.9 vs 6.1 assists), the glass to Cunningham (5.5 vs 3.7 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Cunningham played 10 more games (64 vs 54 of 82).

With Cunningham on the floor his team outscored opponents by +11.4 per 100 possessions, against -8.6 for George; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Cunningham $50.1M through 2029-30, George $6.6M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
