Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Jamal Murray scored more in 2025-26, 2.9 points a game apart (25.4 vs 22.5), on Murray's heavier usage (26.9% vs 26.4%).

Murray is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 62.2% to 58.1%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Johnson (7.9 vs 7.1 assists), the glass to Johnson (10.3 vs 4.4 rebounds).

With Murray on the floor his team outscored opponents by +6.8 per 100 possessions, against +3.2 for Johnson; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Johnson $30.0M through 2029-30, Murray $50.1M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
