If for any reason Howard went down for let's say a couple games, Orlando is much better equipped to weather the storm with Gortat on board than not. That extra bit of talent could be the difference in a close playoff game or two to keep them in a series. Having another seven footer around isn't a bad thing and if anything they'd probably address the log jam at the 4 spot before shipping out Gortat.
