Butler is better on defense than Klay.

Klay is better on offense than Butler.

Anybody arguing those two points is either an idiot or too blinded by agendas to see facts (which also makes them an idiot).

From there though I would argue Klay is better on defense than Jimmy is on offense. That could change either way in the next couple of years. They both have similar trajectories in that Klay's defense was criticized and now it's become elite level and Butler's offense was non-existent and now he's looking like a consistent scorer.

That's why Klay's max contract scares me. If Butler keeps this up he could be seeing pretty damn close to max, which the Bulls would not give him.
