Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Moritz Wagner scored more in 2025-26, 0.2 points a game apart (6.9 vs 6.7), on Wagner's heavier usage (23.7% vs 16.1%).

Love is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 56.8% to 54.5%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Love (1.8 vs 0.8 assists), the glass to Love (5.8 vs 3.2 rebounds).

With Love on the floor his team outscored opponents by -6.7 per 100 possessions, against -10.0 for Wagner; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Love — through —, Wagner $9.3M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
