Just thinking about how dominant Kawhi really is when healthy now you pair him with current form of Jokic theoretically just how many NBA titles would they win?

0. Kawhi is never healthy and Jokic doesn’t play defense

It's not an ideal pairing, in part because Jokic's style really means that there is no 'ideal' pairing. Many players fit great with Jokic, and Kawhi would be one such, but none of them neutralise Jokic's weaknesses.

If you're imagining healthy Kawhi/Jokic paired together through like, 2019-25, I would expect multiple championships, particularly in that 2021-23 window (surrounding years would be tougher).

Kawahi plays Defense. Joker has never heard of it. Obvious Kawahi is a much better player all things considered. Always has been. If he wasn't constantly injured, his career would have put Jokic's to shame. Kawahi should have had a top 4-5 all time career if he wasn't saddled with injuries the entire time..
