The Atlanta Hawks reportedly reached an agreement Friday with center Dwight Howard on a three-year, $70.5 million deal, then later agreed to re-sign forward Kent Bazemore to a big four-year, $70-million contract.

One day later, star center Al Horford decided to take a max deal with the Boston Celtics.

So, is Howard an upgrade on Horford or a downgrade for the Hawks?
