I guess my understanding of the rule change is that it affects legal guarding position, which only really affects a call when the defender is moving. If a stationary defender has his back turned to an offensive player yet gets hammered, I'm not calling a block; even though he never had LGP. Same scenario here, just because he doesn't have LGP doesn't mean he's not entitled to his spot on the floor. A screener never has LGP and the incumbant right to move, so I don't think it applies.
I see LGP and right to a spot as two separate issues, I guess, and I'm having a hard time equating the loss of LGP with a loss to the right to a spot; or equating not having LGP with not having a right to a spot.
If the screener has a foot on the line, and the screened decides to shove his way through; LGP has nothing to do with it, IMHO.
