Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Kawhi Leonard scored more in 2025-26, 6.9 points a game apart (27.9 vs 21.0), on Leonard's heavier usage (32.6% vs 26.4%).

Leonard is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 62.9% to 54.8%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Flagg (4.5 vs 3.6 assists), the glass to Flagg (6.7 vs 6.4 rebounds).

With Leonard on the floor his team outscored opponents by +7.5 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, Leonard $50.3M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
