I think this team will ultimately work best with a 5-out lineup including KP. He can certainly play next to a "big," but that big will need to be a legit perimeter defender and shooter, i.e. Maxi or Johnson. I'm afraid someone like Gobert would just get played off the court if you tried to play him next to KP in the playoffs.
Really the ideal player next to KP would be someone like Draymond from 5 years ago. Barring that, the Mavs will make do with Maxi, DFS, and Johnson. Powell is going to depend a lot on if he can actually come back from his injury, and even then it will depend on if KP can play effectively next to him or not.
