Put him next to Embiid and I think you can lock in a top 3 defense next year and really only need a top 10 offense to be a real contender.  A two big Kleber-Embiid lineup can play with 3 guards, especially if one of them is Melton.
I'd definitely take Kleber and random flotsam for Harris.
You see it. His fit with this roster is essentially perfect and it would make our starting 5 so much more cohesive. Kleber is bigger and more mobile, is a legit rim protector, is a better rebounder and sprays 3's.
He had a down shooting season, but in the playoffs he was hitting at a clip of 43.6% on 8.9 attempts per 100, and 46.4% from the corner.
If Morey could pluck a wing player that runs around and competes defensively and shoots like Bullock on top of Kleber for points per game man Tobias Harris, we've just drastically improved in my eyes.
