Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Tyrese Maxey scored more in 2025-26, 2.3 points a game apart (28.3 vs 26.0), on Maxey's heavier usage (28.6% vs 26.3%).

Durant is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 64.1% to 58.8%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Maxey (6.6 vs 4.8 assists), the glass to Durant (5.5 vs 4.1 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Durant played 8 more games (78 vs 70 of 82).

With Durant on the floor his team outscored opponents by +5.5 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: Durant $43.9M through 2027-28, Maxey $40.8M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
