Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Jamal Murray scored more in 2025-26, 4.4 points a game apart (25.4 vs 21.0), on Murray's heavier usage (26.9% vs 26.4%).

Murray is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 62.2% to 54.8%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Murray (7.1 vs 4.5 assists), the glass to Flagg (6.7 vs 4.4 rebounds).

With Murray on the floor his team outscored opponents by +6.8 per 100 possessions, against -5.2 for Flagg; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Flagg $14.5M through 2028-29, Murray $50.1M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
