Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Devin Booker scored more in 2025-26, 2.5 points a game apart (26.1 vs 23.6), on Booker's heavier usage (30.7% vs 27.9%).

Harden is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 61.0% to 58.5%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Harden (8.0 vs 6.0 assists), the glass to Harden (4.8 vs 3.9 rebounds).

With Booker on the floor his team outscored opponents by +3.9 per 100 possessions, against +1.8 for Harden; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Booker $57.1M through 2029-30, Harden $30.6M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
