    +1. Not just backups. What starters are "too much" for him to handle? Lebron, but really who can handle him? You go team by team, and who is he really going to struggle against if he for whatever reason started at the SF slot for us?

    Rudy Gay? No. Julian Wright? No. Josh Howard? No. Richard Jefferson? No. Trevor Ariza? No. Francisco Garcia? Al Thornton? Grant Hill? Stephen jackson? Ron Artest? Kevin Durant? Corey Brewer? Carmelo Anthony? I'm just gonna stop after the WC, but I don't get why people think the extra 20 pounds SOME SFs might have is immediately going to drain Roy, as if the player is sitting on his shoulders.

    Personally, I find the missionary position to be kind of weak.

    PF, we only have LaMarcus still.

    Then PG, especially long term.

    We're knee-deep in the other spots.

    If you think Blake is an OK point guard, why do you think Bayless won't work at that position? I think he could easily slide into that role and replace Blake long term.
