While the Philadelphia 76ers continue to weigh their options with Kawhi Leonard, it is important to understand just how talented Leonard has become. It seems some fans have forgotten just how much he can impact the game at the highest levels of basketball. Leonard is the type of player who, when healthly, would instantly change the Sixers’ timeline to contend for a championship.
Of course, there is a steep risk that Kawhi could leave Philadelphia next summer, but he is the best fit available for the Sixers. Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, Jimmy Butler, and Klay Thompson could all potentially enter free agency next summer.
