You may be right. I have been focusing for two years of finding a physical presence to pair next to KP. It is really tricky though. Because I was focusing on PF type who can defend on the perimeter, hit an open three, rim run, score inside, and provide some veteran leadership. These players are hard to find.
The Mavs clearly still need this player. You can't go to war with the current front court players the Mavs have. Especially in playoff ball. This team desperately needs another guy. For me, he would start in front of Kleber and make Kleber a high usage bench player. I just find it really odd this team thought a KP/Maxi front court was good enough. I always thought of James Johnson was an expiring contract, not a useful piece. Kleber is good but I have injury concerns for him after a lot of minutes and he is pretty limited on offense.
