Dirk shouldn't be playing huge minutes or trying to break 20 or more points unless it is absolutely vital, but with the offensive minded players added this year...it shouldn't be required of him.
You don't want him chucking endlessly and needlessly like Kobe, do you?

Dirk's probably going to get something close to, maybe a little under, 34 mpg. If he's healthy and averaging less than 20 in that kind of PT, then he's not shooting enough.
And of course we don't want him chucking endlessly and needlessly like Kobe. But he's never done that, so why should that even be a concern?
