Horford or Howard?

[barkleynash]

If you were Danny Ainge who would rather bring in between Big Al and D12 and how much would you be willing to part for them?

[Shade8780]

both would probably require giving up the brooklyn pick

no thanks

1: Big Al = Al Jefferson.

2: Neither is worth giving up the Nets pick to obtain, and if they require a lot of assets to make a trade in general I'd pass as the Cs will then have to max them on top of all else. Slight preference for Horford because although Howard is better Howard will age worse as he doesn't have an offensive skillset and I do believe that both's next contract will take them into their 30s.

3: Big Al = Al Jefferson.

If they can get Horford for say Lee + their own pick and the Dallas pick, and maybe a throw-in player, I say do it. Horford is a free agent at year end and maybe they can get him at 50 cents on the dollar.

The Brooklyn pick is basically off limits.

PS - as noted above, there's only one Big Al.
