After hearing the Nerlens Noel rumor, it kind of makes sense now if that's what they're trying to do.
The game has changed a lot since 2011. KP at the 4 is not worth near that contract. I think I would rather see Noel guard the perimeter than KP. Maybe that is the plan, an improved version of KP/Powell. Noel made Randle look like a good defensive player, so maybe it could work. So you start KP/Noel and Maxi/Powell is backup.
