re: Darius garland or Trae young

Garland has 4 years, 163mil left
Entering this season at 25 years old.
In the last 4 years (removing his 1st: rookie season)
He's played 248 games (62 games a year)
19.9 PPG, 2.8 RPG, 7.4 APG, 3.2 TOV, 1.3 SPG, 0.1 BPG
Shooting: 45.7/39.0/86.3
Defensively, bad.

Trae Young has 3 years, 138mil left (last year being player option); Otherwise its 2 years, 89mil
Entering this season at 26 years old.
In his last 5 years (removing his 1st: rookie season)
He's played 326 games (65 games a year)
27.1 PPG, 3.5 RPG, 9.9 APG, 4.3 TOV, 1.0 SPG, 0.1 BPG
Shooting: 44.0/36.1/88.0
Defensively, even more atrocious.


TL:DR
The answer is Garland by a narrow margin.

Offensively Trae is better, defensively he's worse. Cost controlled and duration goes to garland. Fit probably even
