This is why we need another competent big. The net with KP is 7.7 and without him it is 4.7. He's pretty harmful to the Team O while playing less than 2/3's of Team minutes. He's pretty impactful to Team D while playing less than 2/3 of Team minutes. It is inevitable he will miss minutes and even when healthy there is need for more defensive help from someone who doesn't trash your O. I think Gorgui Dieng is a really nice fit here. Below are O-Rating and D-Rating for Dieng and our other bigs:
KP: 104/105
Powell: 135/110
Maxi: 126/111
Boban: 113/107
Dieng: 115/105
These numbers aren't achieved in a vacuum. The teammates that surround you matter. I discount Boban's numbers a bit because Carlisle only plays him against certain kinds of opponents. I think 18 minutes of someone like Dieng would increase the 7.7 point per 100 spread between our O-Rating and D-Rating when KP is healthy.
Remember that those numbers aren´t the actual on court ratings for the mentioned players. O-rating and D-rating are individual stats that aren´t based on +/- numbers.
