First, it would depend on the "top 5 pick." This year, for example, stinks. ATL would be dumb if they traded Horford for the 1st overall pick of 2013.
Second, Horford is miles ahead of Milsap in talent, miles ahead of Gasol in value (and ahead of him in talent) and very reasonably ahead of Jefferson in value (while being equal in talent). Re-read my description of him on this thread.
Hawks would be crazy to trade him, unless we're talking about a franchise-changing player, and the teams who have that kind of player would be crazy to trade HIM.
My mother told me, she said, "Elwood, to make it in this world you either have to be oh, so clever or oh, so pleasant." Well, for years I was clever; I recommend pleasant.
