I would take Hawes from an age and talent perspective.. But Frye for his leadership and locker room present. The chemistry is also why this suns team was good last year.
I posted a few times about him in the previous free agency threads. Yes, he had better numbers than Frye last year across the board. He's definitely worse than Frye defensively, but you really are not playing either player for their defense. He's definitely a guy to go after (at a reasonable price) if we lose Frye. Not sure if I'd rather have him than Frye, considering you can't under estimate how important Frye's chemistry with Dragic is and just his chemistry and leadership with the whole team, so I'd be fine with either if it's critical we keep a stretch big around to make our offense click.
As for Hawes being liked, I've never really heard anything negative about him as a teammate.
