Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Stephen Curry scored more in 2025-26, 0.6 points a game apart (26.6 vs 26.0), on Curry's heavier usage (30.8% vs 26.3%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (64.1% vs 63.7%).

Playmaking goes to Durant (4.8 vs 4.7 assists), the glass to Durant (5.5 vs 3.6 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Durant played 35 more games (78 vs 43 of 82).

With Durant on the floor his team outscored opponents by +5.5 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: Durant $43.9M through 2027-28, Curry $62.6M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
