Dwight Howard Traded to the Lakers

Dwight Howard has been traded to the Los Angeles Lakers in a four team deal.

According to a report from ESPN, Andre Iguodala has been dealt to the Denver Nuggets for Andrew Bynum via LA.  Jason Richardson via Orlando, joins Bynum who is headed to the Sixers.  The Orlando Magic will receive Al Harrington and Arron Afflalo from Denver.  The Sixers give up their first round draft pick, Moe Harkless, in the deal to Orlando.  The Magic will also obtain one protected future first round draft pick from the Lakers, Nuggets, and Sixers.

Pau Gasol will remain with the Lakers.

Howard's arrival to Hollywood instantly makes the Lakers the favorites to win the West over the defending Western Conference Champions; the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Not every day that big time NBA news breaks in August.  More to come......
