Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Kawhi Leonard scored more in 2025-26, 2.5 points a game apart (27.9 vs 25.4), on Leonard's heavier usage (32.6% vs 26.9%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (62.2% vs 62.9%).

Playmaking goes to Murray (7.1 vs 3.6 assists), the glass to Leonard (6.4 vs 4.4 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Murray played 10 more games (75 vs 65 of 82).

With Leonard on the floor his team outscored opponents by +7.5 per 100 possessions, against +6.8 for Murray; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Murray $50.1M through 2028-29, Leonard $50.3M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
