    Roy, Bayless, Aldridge, Oden, Batum, needs to be the future of this organization barring future injury's.

    Why not both? They've shown capable of playing together and doing well. Brandon is still the man though.

    Roy's proven himself in more games, I think that is easy to answer who is better.

    However, Both will be awesome next year as starters if Nate gets his head out of his ass and realize Jerryd deserves to start.

    Bayless is more athletic and has more physical ability. Roy is more skilled and has a better feel for the game. It's basically like the difference between Wade and Kobe, IMO. I'd rather have the latter than the former.

    Is this a joke. Bayless has given us some hope. I am really excited for what the future might hold, but it has only been a FEW games.

    Bayless has now totally proven himself over the course of a season. He isn't quite on the same level as Wade, but on the next rung down, he's at least a top 12 NBA player.

    Roy is probably getting worried Bayless will take his all-star spot, I mean besides Kobe there really isn't a better guard in the western conference.

    I would add Rudy to this group and agree. There are plenty of minutes for Roy/Bayless/Rudy in a 3 guard rotation, especially since we should run with Roy or Rudy at SF for ~10 minutes a game.

    If this year has shown us anything, it's that the chance of those six being healthy for most of an 82 game season is rare, minutes will be fine.

    I think KP's job over the next 9 months is to add a backup 4/5. Millsap or David Lee would have been perfect, but even a Carl Landry would be good. If KP can't find the ideal candidate, he could settle for a veteran like Howard/Mcdyess/Rasheed along with a younger guy who has some upside.

    Either I was being sarcastic or I'm a moron.

    Roy, duh. But the prospect of having this the two as a one two punch has me drooling. We just got a taste of the two of them working together in the phoenix game and now we are seeing what Bayless can do all by himself. They will make eachother better. My question is will they be Batman and Robin or Batman and Batman. More like Batman and the Flash but the Flash isnt as cool of a super hero as Batman.
