Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Paul George scored more in 2025-26, 0.2 points a game apart (17.3 vs 17.1), on George's heavier usage (22.9% vs 22.1%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (57.0% vs 57.0%).

Playmaking goes to George (3.6 vs 3.2 assists), the glass to Bridges (5.8 vs 5.3 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Bridges played 40 more games (77 vs 37 of 82).

With George on the floor his team outscored opponents by +3.6 per 100 possessions, against +3.5 for Bridges; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Bridges $22.8M through 2026-27, George $54.1M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
