That is a big problem indeed. I believe I read the Sixers have kicked the tires on Harris. Maybe you can move him for a guy like McCollum.
To your other point, if KP can't guard modern power forwards in the playoffs, he's clearly going to need to be the center in Dallas. I happen to agree and would like nothing more than to see KP return to playing at least league average defense. Well, and stay healthy. And rebound.
If KP plays average interior defense, stays healthy and rebounds he'll return to unicorn status and one could argue he's a top 50 player in the league. That would be awesome.
For reference, the Mavs have a surplus of bigs: KP, Kleber, Powell, WCS, Boban and Brown occupying $61mm in cap to play the four and the five. More if you count DFS but I don't include him because of his obvious positional versatility.
