Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Tim Hardaway Jr. scored more in 2025-26, 0.1 points a game apart (13.5 vs 13.4), on Grimes's heavier usage (18.3% vs 17.7%).

Hardaway Jr. is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 62.4% to 58.5%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Grimes (3.3 vs 1.4 assists), the glass to Grimes (3.6 vs 2.6 rebounds).

With Hardaway Jr. on the floor his team outscored opponents by +4.5 per 100 possessions, against -0.1 for Grimes; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Grimes $14.0M through 2029-30, Hardaway Jr. $6.5M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
