Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Tidjane Salaun scored more in 2025-26, 0.0 points a game apart (6.0 vs 6.0), on Edwards's heavier usage (15.4% vs 14.7%).

Salaun is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 62.9% to 57.2%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Edwards (1.3 vs 0.7 assists), the glass to Salaun (4.0 vs 1.5 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Edwards played 27 more games (64 vs 37 of 82).

With Salaun on the floor his team outscored opponents by +2.1 per 100 possessions, against -3.4 for Edwards; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Edwards $2.4M through 2027-28, Salaun $8.2M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
