Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Kevin Durant scored more in 2025-26, 2.4 points a game apart (26.0 vs 23.6), on George's heavier usage (27.5% vs 26.3%).

Durant is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 64.1% to 60.9%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to George (6.1 vs 4.8 assists), the glass to Durant (5.5 vs 3.7 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Durant played 24 more games (78 vs 54 of 82).

With Durant on the floor his team outscored opponents by +5.5 per 100 possessions, against -8.6 for George; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Durant $43.9M through 2027-28, George $6.6M through 2031-32. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
