Not sure I get the Klay hate. He has been what you would hope he would be. He doesn't kill you on defense, makes high BBIQ decisions and shoots at a very high level. The starting lineup including Luka/Kyrie/Klay was never going to be a top 5 defense, but the idea was that Klay could take the offense to another level against teams like Boston, and in the rare cases where all three were healthy, he has. Of all the team's problems recently, I would put Klay way down on that list.
Klay has had his moments, but they've been few and far between. It's why GS let him walk. The Butler situation is very similar. Aging star that wants an extension, that the team is unwilling to give him.
