His options should be: Toronto/Brooklyn/Clippers

there’s a few small market teams who have their shit together but Kawhi’s clearly a major market guy.  

Knicks

Delusional Knicks fan...

Durant isn't coming either...

Didn't say they were coming. Just that they're still in play

True, it is an option but one he won't be taking.

so that rules out the Clippers...and the nets...and the knicks and about 20 other teams.

What does what happened years ago with different players and different coaches and different owners have to do with how the team is set up right now? Right now, they have a better chance at a championship than all but 5ish teams. 

Odd argument you're making here, fella.

you could make the argument that if Philly had Leonard they would have bet toronto.  Philly gave them the hardest test.  If you have simmonds, Joel and adding leonard makes them the favorite to win the whole damm thing but I don't see Leonard going to Philly.  the Clippers made the playoffs in the west and gave golden state a good run and Golden state had everyone playing at that time.  they are really goood

Butler would have to go.

If that happened the Sixers wouldn't lose.

Let's not get cray.

Simmons still doesn't have an outside shot.  If Kawhi went there maybe he could coax him to want to be better?

Believe me, if Kawhi joined this team, that would not matter much.

I think simmons is what he is going to be to be honest.  great at what he does but what he doesn't do is makes him a good player

I expect improvement. This year he improved his fg% by a couple percent. The free throw percent jumped from 56-60%. That number MUST be around 70%.
And he HAS to start shooting the ball even a little bit. He did it in college and high school. Developing a little 10 footer and, eventually, being able to spot up for 3's on the corners is not an unrealistic thing to anticipate. He's still really young and other players developed those things as the years went by.

you would know better but from what I understand is that its not that he can't shoot but doesn't want to.  if he got a jumpshot he could be a great player.
