But we need Howard's defense more than Lewis's offense. Howard also is going to improve to about 12 points a game this year I believe.

Lewis' offense outdoes Josh's offense by a solid bit more than Josh's defense outdoes Lewis' defense. Josh would have to improve more than a bit on both ends of the court this summer to get to a level where it would even be a toss-up between him and Lewis. That said, when you're looking at Lewis vs. Josh, you have to consider that Josh will be making peanuts the next three years compared to Lewis, who will almost certainly be looking for a very large new contract next offseason. I'd probably go as far as giving up an expiring contract, Josh, and the 1st from the Atl trade to get Lewis, but only if Mark was committed to matching any offer for Lewis and Lewis was committed to staying in Dallas under those circumstances.
