Maxi is a known (and improving) 28 y/o asset and the Mavs are still building for long term rather than win-now. I'm not sure Horford going to be worth it moving forward.
I didn't say I am trading Maxi for him :-) Although, if it would be necessary... Horford could be describe as the opposite of Porzingis. Offensively he can post up as seen yeasterday. He can also spread the floor if necessary. Defensively he is not so much of a rim defender as a PF. He can take the assignment of guarding stronger centers while still able to chase after small ball PF. Embiid is mostly post up center offensively so it gets crowded in the paint with non shooter Simmons and Horford around.
