Can Leonard make the clippers a real title contender?

Paul
Crawford/Reddick
Leonard
Blake
Jordan/hawes..

Smaller team

Paul
crawford
Barnes
Leonard
Blake

I am 99% sure Leonard will stay in San Antonio, and I don't know the clippers cap situation but that would instantly solve the clippers problems.

if that 1% ever happens, me and clippernation are going to be best buds..

No. The Clippers have the talent and a mind like Leonard never develops under Uncle Tom. Teams like LA2 need instant talent, not developing, teetering, "not aware I have it" talent that they have to mine for. Who have they developed? No one. Kawhi is great, no doubt, but he's not going to make Chris Paul less of a liability, or DJ into a better FT shooter, or Blake into a defender. He's not going to make Tom run decent offensive sets and forego monkeyball. Leonard is folded Japanese steel that's not quite sharp enough to become a Hitori Hanso sword just yet, but he's going to be one when the craftsman is done.

The Clippers need organizational restructuring. When organizations go for star names instead of team chemistry, they aren't interested in titles, just in media coverage. KL might take them up on it if they throw something at him, but he'll regress in LA2 if he does because theres' no one there to give a shit about his minutes or his autism.

Kawhi would definitely fill our major void at the 3 and immediately improve our defense on the perimeter. We'd definitely match up favorably with most of the West with Kawhi, although teams like Memphis would still be a poor matchup for us. He would have to force a trade, though, since Choke Paul's hogging all the cap space.

Tbh, any combination of these moves would be good:

1. Do the rumored DJ for Horford and Carroll trade.
2. See what Philly might want in return for KJ McDaniels. He's athletic and has a ton of potential on the defensive end, but he's not getting any playing time and isn't happy in Philly. He signed a one-year contract and can walk for nothing after the season, so if the Sixers don't want to develop him, they might as well get something for him.
3. Cut Cunningham and go after Kirilenko when the Sixers waive him.

He'd look better with the Warriors tbh.

No it wouldn't, they'd still have CP0.
