I would rather have ______ over Horford at C for next 5 years

[jerrywest]

Who would your prefer at C over Horford?

[FrankWhite]

Howard, Bynum... that's the list.

[Atlantaholic]

Also Brooke Lopez probably. Mainly due to the fact that he is younger

[spotatl]

I'd take Howard, Bynum, Al Jefferson, Bogut, and Lopez. I'd have a tough time picking between Horford, Gasol, and Nene. Perkins probably is also in the discussion.

Nene, Bynum, Brook, Dwight... after that the vein in my head starts throbbing, can't think of any others at the 5. Of course I'd rather have Hofo at the 4 st the same time, but it's all good.

none!

Andrew Bynum...... That's kInd of a joke to me. What has he shown other than his overall ability to get injured every year. Al horford is te hawks most consistent player.

[spotatl]

Bynum is better on both offense and defense than Horford.... That sort of tips the scales in his favor for who I'd rather have.

And I don't care about "consistency" as far as I am concerned Collins is the Hawks most consistent player. I'll take dominance over consistency.

[MrRyda]

Honestly my list stops at Dwight.

Maybe a healthy Yao too.

DOMINANCE????? When the heck has Bynum dominated anybody? He's taller and of course much longer but thats about it, Horford works much harder than that guy and has shown to be much more reliable when it comes to injuries which is a huge factor when talking about big men. I like Bynum's length, other than that give me the heart of our team........mister AL!!!!!!!!!

[spotatl]

Bynum is a force on defense that turns the Lakers from an good defensive team to one of the top defenses in the league. Bynum is also better on offense than Horford. If you want to say health is more important to you then I am OK with that but Bynum is a much better player. I think people here are in a little bit of denial about Horford's limitations on offense.

[HawksFan87]

Unless Smoove starts to such which is NOT happening, Horford will continue to start at C.. He hasn't shown enough that we should trade away smoove anywayz.. So these threads are pointless.

Dwight Howard: Need I say more?

Andrew Bynum: He is just better at offensive and defensive transactions. But, this is weighed with him getting injured and him having Pau with him making it less of a load. But I believe that Andy-B is just a lil better than Big Al

Dirk: Now, before you set a torch on my face, let me explain. I'd take him offensively, granted that he could do what Al can do offensively in the paint. If someone like Al could develop or already have a deadly three point stroke, then the kid would be a monster. Like KG.

[tbhawksfan]

Horford is our C until furthur notice. i choose him.

[justin31]

dwight, bynum, healthy yao, and maybe brook lopez.

if we want to include guys playing the 4 now who could play 5, then gasol and duncan would go on the list too. thats it.

i like guys like nene, jefferson, and bogut, but al has an intensity that i think really drives this team. i also think his willingness to run the floor is a huge part of what gives our team its offensive identity as a running team.

[Antmillennium]

Dwight Howard and Brook Lopez. That's it.

[EazyRoc]

Dwight Howard, Brook Lopez, and Gasol. I like Bynum but he gets hurt too much.

[frankthetank966]

Howard, Bynum... that's the list.

Howard yes, Bynum is pretty similar so no.

[High5]

Howard is the only no brainer. I don't trust Bynum and I'm not sold on Lopez being better. Horford plays winning basketball. I don't think either of those guys can match his impact.

If injuries weren't a factor then I'd take Oden, too.
