Did Lebron have some special love for Kyrie, or was it more that he was seen as the best player in the draft that Lebron wanted to play with?
If he knew the kind of player Kawhi would become, he'd probably still go back to the Cavs. OTOH, who knows how Kawhi would develop if he had to play 2nd fiddle to Lebron
He developed with Tim Duncan

In both cases, 3-and-D wing is a perfect fit.

Good point. I suppose it's within our hypothetical reality that Lebron could be told how good Kawhi would be.
I think he just saw Cleveland as the best basketball situation for him to go to, because Kyrie was immediately awesome and they had that top pick in 2014 as a trade asset. Neither Butler nor Kawhi were obviously awesome as of 2014.

Especially Butler!
