Nice hyperbole.

You do realize that, presuming you've been watching Blazers games, you've almost certainly seen Roy on the floor with Blake and Jack for stretches, often effectively, yes? It hasn't worked particularly well as a starting line-up for a variety of reasons -- they're matched against an opposing starting unit, Webster and/or Jones unavailable so less ideal rotations overall, etc. Still, when playing together over the course of a game, that combination had decent success.

Given that Fernandez seems to be a near certain improvement over Jack, things should only get better.

If it were me, I'd probably bring Fernandez off the bench (starting Blake, Roy, and Webster/Jones/Outlaw, if no other moves are made) but it seems to me Roy spending five to ten minutes a game at SF should be fine over the course of most games.
