Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Pascal Siakam scored more in 2025-26, 3.1 points a game apart (24.0 vs 20.9), on Siakam's heavier usage (29.2% vs 26.2%).

James is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 59.4% to 56.2%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to James (7.2 vs 3.8 assists), the glass to Siakam (6.6 vs 6.1 rebounds).

With James on the floor his team outscored opponents by +2.6 per 100 possessions, against -5.6 for Siakam; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: James $3.9M through 2027-28, Siakam $48.9M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
