Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Stephen Curry scored more in 2025-26, 1.2 points a game apart (26.6 vs 25.4), on Curry's heavier usage (30.8% vs 26.9%).

Curry is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 63.7% 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 4.7 assists), the glass to Murray (4.4 vs 3.6 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Murray played 32 more games (75 vs 43 of 82).

With Murray on the floor his team outscored opponents by +6.8 per 100 possessions, against +2.8 for Curry; 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, Curry $62.6M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
