[Dimmauk]

My source says 76ers get Bynum and J-Rich, Nuggets get Iggy, Lakers get Howard, and Magic get Afflalo, Harrington, Nikola Vucevic and 1st round picks from each team.

A four-team trade that would send Dwight Howard to the Los Angeles Lakers is complete, multiple sources told ESPN on Thursday night.

A source with direct knowledge of the talks told ESPN.com's Marc Stein the Lakers will receive Howard, the Denver Nuggets will acquire Andre Iguodala, the 76ers will receive Andrew Bynum and Jason Richardson, and the Magic will get Arron Afflalo, Al Harrington, Nikola Vucevic and one protected future first-round pick from each of the other three teams.

In addition, the Magic will be getting other pieces, including 76ers No. 1 draft pick Moe Harkless, a source told Stein.

Sources close to the process told Stein and ESPNLosAngeles.com's Ramona Shelburne that a trade call with the league office has been scheduled for Friday to secure the necessary NBA approval to make the deal official.

Wow, the magic made off like Madoff. I bet they're glad they held off on trading him last season. All that and they lose a big man who doesn't want to be there and just had back surgery.

Thank you

Yeah... the second most dominant player in the NBA behind LeBron. They get Afflalo (decent wing), Vucevic (decent young 5), and Al Harrington (old with a big contract, 0 part of their future). Just looking at the players, it is absurdly lopsided. They also get a mid to late 1st round pick in Moe Harkless, and 1st rounders from the Lakers, Nuggets, and 76ers. The Lakers pick is going to be at the very end of the round, while the Nugs and 76ers picks will be mid to late. Even if one of those teams bottoms out for some reason, the picks are protected.

I know they didn't have a lot of options but this is terrible.

p much haha...nash to dh12 all day err'day

[Moss]

And if you are wondering what you get with mid to late first round picks, look at Houston's current roster.

[Deejay]
