If teams are just going to target him anyway, and he’s always played better as a PF, why are we having this conversation?

Not I sure I follow, sorry. 

A) I disagree that he has played very much 4 here on defense, to this point (maybe in NY, not sure, but that was a while ago). 

B) I certainly disagree that "he's always played better (defense) as a PF"...I think the exact opposite is true.

C) I don't believe what you have habitually claimed, that the slow 7'4" guy should be taken off of the center position on defense, where he should have a chance to contribute in theory at least, and instead played at the 4, where it's pretty easy to get matched up with guys like Lebron James, Kawhi Leonard, (literally, list any other long forward you can imagine, and I'd bet they'd routinely torch KP 1-on-1), and that this tactic will somehow help KP. 

D) It doesn't matter what position you write next to his name on the lineup card. He's a big, stiff, slow guy who doesn't play hard. If he's on the floor (and playing how he played this past season) his team's defense is going to be pretty bad.
