Interesting some of the items you brought up
Out of the 5 guys you mentioned Butler has the 2nd best TS% (just a titch behind Kyrie). Meaning you will get the 2nd most amount of points when he takes a shot compared to others. Getting that TS% higher is the reason for the 3 point shot getting more and more valuable.

The Heat were 40-32. It isn't like they were 36-36 like the Celtics. Considering they played in the NBA finals a year ago and the limited amount of rest they received I would say they actually performed decently. You also have to consider that Booker, Mitchell and Irving are not the best players on their team.

Butler is world's better defensively than anyone on that list.

Take a look at the on court/off court ratings. When Butler was on the floor this year the Heat were 3.8 points more efficient than when he was off. When he was on the court the Heat were 6.9 point better per 100 possessions than when he was off for a total of 10.7 points.

That is far and away tops on this list with Tatum being 2nd at 5.4, Booker at 3.1, Kyrie at 1.3 and the Jazz were 3.2 points per 100 possessions worse with Donovan Mitchell on the court.
