Where the gap is

from the numbers above

LeBron James scored more in 2025-26, 0.1 points a game apart (20.9 vs 20.8), on Sharpe's heavier usage (29.3% vs 26.2%).

James is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 59.4% to 54.6%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to James (7.2 vs 2.6 assists), the glass to James (6.1 vs 4.3 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: James played 10 more games (60 vs 50 of 82).

With James on the floor his team outscored opponents by +2.6 per 100 possessions, against -1.3 for Sharpe; 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, Sharpe $20.1M through 2029-30. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
