Tracy obviously had the better peak, quite easily too but Jimmy is just far more durable. I'd definitely lean towards Butler who has also proven to impact winning (as his teams went farther more consistently than T-Mac's did).

Is he really though? Butler missed 15 games in 2016, 23 games in 2018, 17 games in 2019, 20 games in 2021, and 25 this year. Doesn't sound like any more durable than Tmac, certainly not "far more".
