Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Kevin Durant scored more in 2025-26, 0.6 points a game apart (26.0 vs 25.4), on Murray's heavier usage (26.9% vs 26.3%).

Durant is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 64.1% to 62.2%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Murray (7.1 vs 4.8 assists), the glass to Durant (5.5 vs 4.4 rebounds).

With Murray on the floor his team outscored opponents by +6.8 per 100 possessions, against +5.5 for Durant; 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, Durant $43.9M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
