Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Pascal Siakam scored more in 2025-26, 0.1 points a game apart (24.0 vs 23.9), on Cunningham's heavier usage (29.6% vs 29.2%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (56.4% vs 56.2%).

Playmaking goes to Cunningham (9.9 vs 3.8 assists), the glass to Siakam (6.6 vs 5.5 rebounds).

With Cunningham on the floor his team outscored opponents by +11.4 per 100 possessions, against -5.6 for Siakam; 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, Siakam $48.9M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
