Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Kevin Durant scored more in 2025-26, 3.5 points a game apart (26.0 vs 22.5), on Johnson's heavier usage (26.4% vs 26.3%).

Durant is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 64.1% 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 4.8 assists), the glass to Johnson (10.3 vs 5.5 rebounds).

With Durant on the floor his team outscored opponents by +5.5 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, Durant $43.9M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
