Tripod Head

to answer your question, yes it can support as long as you are using it with the supplied tripod collar for the lens
With what body are you using your 70-200 lens with? Calculate the overall weight of your gear. Multiply that weight by 2.
Then based on that, compare against the maximum load of the tripod head. Also, depends on what legs are you using your tripod head with. Is the maximum load less or more than that of the tripod heads?
If less, take the lesser figure as the basis of the maximum weight load. If the legs can take more than what the tripod head can support, use the tripod head's maximum weight load for your consideration.
Hope this helps with your selection of a tripod head.
Cheers!

Perhaps what he meant is that u may experience creeping problems with your set up.
The maximum load if ball head is only applicable if you deploy the camera at perpendicular to the ball head base. if tilted at an angle, you need to divide the maximum load by 3 if i remember correctly.

According to the Manfrotto website, the 496 can handle a max load of 6Kg and the 498 a max load of 8Kg.
Your tripod must also be capable of max loads over 6Kg otherwise it becomes the weakest link.
