I really don't see how he is redundant with Powell? On offense he is a floor stretcher while Powell is a rim runner. On defense he has been elite (Powell has played better defense lately too, but not near Maxi level). They actually complement each other well when they play together, but Maxi is easier to fit in just about any lineup. Honestly, after watching the big rotation of Powell/Maxi/Chriss defensively dominate Memphis, Chicago, Golden State and Denver, I'm not really in hurry to get rid of any of them.
Maybe not as they are the same player, but for the overall roster construction they are. We are looking to upgrade the 2nd big position with a player with superior ability or potential to Powell/Kleber, who will likely make more money than Powell/Kleber, too.
My C rotation would look like
Porzingis 33
PF/C 10-15M player
Powell or Kleber 10M player
Chriss
Rookie/Vet Minimum
If we assume, that we are looking to add a PF/C, then one of Powell/Kleber has to go (I´m not even counting Boban/WCS anymore), unless you think Porzingis should be the one to go.
