Who would you rather have, since one or the other will most likely be traded this month?

Washington Wizards teammates Etan Thomas and Brendan Haywood fought in practice on Friday, according to Washington media reports, and Thomas was suspended for two games.
It's the third time over the past two seasons that the two centers, who have split playing time at the pivot for the Wizards, have traded punches. They fought in the locker room on Nov. 2, and Haywood was suspended for throwing a punch at Thomas last season.
"I am trying to find my rhythm after missing a month with this ankle injury, trying to put together some decent games, feeling good to be a part of everything that the team is accomplishing, and this cat decides to hit me with a cheap shot during practice and I reacted. I could have turned the other cheek. I guess I didn't," Thomas told the Post.
"Why on earth would he throw an elbow at his own teammate? Save that for Tyson Chandler or Eddy Curry. Kwame Brown would be more than happy to trade blows with him," Thomas told the Times. "I know the difference between an accident and a cheap shot."
