In any case, we'll never know, because the team isn't going to take KP and J Rich off the floor for the remainder of the season and the playoffs. They're just not. (Not saying you shouldn't have presented the issue. It's fun to ponder these hypotheticals. I think it's a realistic issue when looked at over a longer term than the remainder of this season's campaign.)
I think it is also a question for the next couple of weeks. Richardson is already losing minutes. RC mentioned that KP will play regular season minutes before the playoffs but I am not sure if the version of KP that we will see can actually help the Mavs. Not in rhythm. Probably not in the best physical condition.
