One of the biggest questions facing San Antonio before next season is who will start at power forward between Julian Champagnie and newly-acquired veteran Tobias Harris, who could be the missing piece for the Spurs.

The veteran forward brings size, shooting, and two-way versatility on a reasonable contract for both him and the Spurs. Will Harris start over Julian Champagnie? And does this slam the door on the possibility of LeBron in San Antonio?
