Yes hack two players that seem to be passed over for lesser talent

Butler and Thompson are really close. I don't have a problem with the trade.
Both are good defenders. Butler maybe has that edge. But Klay is a better shooter.
I'd probably lean Klay too.
It's weird that Klay doesn't get much love here. Maybe people don't know he's a good defender too. His shooting is great.
you're over-rating his defense. He's good in his system. Jimmy is good in any system.
I think you are under rating his defense. I'll give you that Jimmy is a better defender, but Klay is no slouch on defense. It's not just good team defense with him. He is pretty good 1 on 1.
I think that's pretty well known too. Ask the internet. It will probably say he's a good defender.
I've heard broadcasters and coaches speak highly of his defense plenty of times.

Klay Thompson was All-NBA this year and was the 2nd best player on the championship team. Jesus people, it's not rocket science, the dude can ball.
I didn't say he wasn't good. I said you (and I'll also say others) overrate it. I'll go to war with Jimmy 10 out of 10 times over Klay.
Ya, it was a fine trade. Both high caliber players, and picks exchanged were close. It's about the vision you have for your team.
