In that case, let's do 56 second shot clock, and players can stand there and light a cigarette

Would not bet against Westbrook if starters played 60ish minutes. Plus, his jumper is already tired in the first quarter, so he wouldn’t lose much. The man is an animal.

Also, the obligatory comment... would they also play in the elementals?

Humans are not meant to play basketball that long.
Unless investment in Tyrell.Co have started and i havent noticed this is not feaseable.
Thus, your line of thought is invalid.

I'm sure teams would benefit from playing against a LeBron, KD, Giannis, Steph etc. team where they play the whole game.

I think limiting superstars to 70% of gametime would benefit everyone overall.
