I'm the one who has said OPJ is not a 4, and I still believe that. He is much more overweight than I remember him being in Was, so there is that, but as he plays himself back into shape and gets to where he should be ideally (198 is his listed weight), he'd be lighter than DFS and less a 4 and more a 3. I myself think OPJ is an upgrade to DFS, especially if he gets back into shape. He for sure is what we want DFS to be on offense, just not so much on D, unless and IMO until he gets back to his optimal shape.

To me, he isn't the guy who is an enforcer type that we need next to KP. If we were to have Turner instead of KP, I think OPJ and DFS works. If we were to do the KP for Turner and Lamb deal, then follow it up with this OPJ deal, I think that would be a pretty deadly and ready to go team in the next couple years. 

Also, Powell COULD be the best player in the deal IF he returns to form and OPJ doesn't. If both of them are playing at their best, OPJ is for sure the better player.

Luka/Brunson/Burke
JRich/THJ/Green
DFS/Lamb/Iwundu
OPJ/Maxi/McDermott
Turner/WCS/Boban

That team looks pretty good to me, wouldn't be a favorite, unless one of JRich or Turner or OPJ became unbelievable talents and fully reached their potential. They have the ability to gell and make a great splash and with a 2011-like playoff run, would win it all.
