Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Tyrese Maxey scored more in 2025-26, 2.9 points a game apart (28.3 vs 25.4), on Maxey's heavier usage (28.6% vs 26.9%).

Murray is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 62.2% to 58.8%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Murray (7.1 vs 6.6 assists), the glass to Murray (4.4 vs 4.1 rebounds).

With Murray on the floor his team outscored opponents by +6.8 per 100 possessions, against +1.5 for Maxey; 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, Maxey $40.8M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
