It all depends on what line you intend to play after 6..e5 7.0-0. If you intend to play 7...Na6, there is nothing wrong with the 6...Na6 move order. The same goes for 7...Nbd7/6...Nbd7.

However, if you intend to play the main line with 7...Nc6, it is harder to avoid the exchange variation. There is the line 6...Nc6 7.d5 Nb8, but it seems to me that Black simply gets a poor version of the classical, and White scores well against it.

If you are playing the KID, this is a structure that is integral. You really need to know this.
Get out your dbase and look through some games. Your chess understanding will benefit from it.Then you will rake in the points. 

That said, Na6 or Nbd7 then ....e5 are doable of course. All fine.

I am a KID player , rather tactical in style , but too often , after 1 d4 Nf6 2 c4 g6 3 Nc3 Bg7 4 e4 d6 5 Nf3 O-O 6 Bé2 e5 , my opponent plays 7 dxe5 , what I strongly dislike
Is there a way to prevent it?
Radjabov uses to play 6...Na6 and only after 7 O-O 7...e5
Is it the best?
