It's obvious even to KP. He knows a rim rolling big would have plenty of (easy) scoring opportunities in a Luka led offense. And he knows how good Dwight has been in that role lately. It's either KP starts rolling more, or he ends up as the third or even a fourth scoring option on a pick and roll play which features Luka and DP.
KP mentioned he and Dwight talk a lot on the court, and I would think DP has this high regard for KP, being the 2nd star on the team. Dwight's a team-first glue guy, he would care less about his stats and/or PT as long as they are winning. And he knows involving KP would help. So they can make it work, its up to the coaching staff to help them make it work.
Now if the Mavs go for Holmes, this would be a different story. Holmes would want to be featured and would want his numbers. If the Mavs can't figure out KP and DP, that issue will be ten-fold with Holmes. Expect a KP trade if Holmes is a Mav.
