KP at center doesn't work in my eyes:
-It doesn't matter what his assignment with pick and roll offenses, he'll get switched into a favorable matchup on the perimeter and abused by smaller, quicker players.
-Throw KP into a Gimmick zone with the current roster construction and it doesn't work either. Teams figure out the zone eventually to get outside looks and even if they drive, he'll be out of rebounding position while playing help defense because our perimeter defense is bad and will not improve over drastically next year .
-And speaking of rebounding, he's not a very good rebounder.
You can't have a max guy end up being a situational center in the playoffs. If KP isn't a top tier scorer, he's too much of a liability otherwise to run him out on the floor.
There just seems to be too many fit, chemistry, injury and happiness issues to salvage this. Some times it makes sense for everyone to move on and have a fresh start. Just like getting out of a bad relationship.
