NBA - Dwight Howard dealt to Lakers

Another big news for the Lakers fan. That's the second big boom from their GM. After trade for Steve Nash, the LA Lakers made a 4-team blockbuster trade for Dwight Howard.

Lakers Acquire: Dwight Howard, Chris Duhon and Earl Clark
Nugget Acquire: Andre Iguodala
76ers Acquires: Andrew Bynum and Jason Richardson
Magic Acquires: Arron Afflalo, Arron Afflalo, Al Harrington, Nikola Vucevic, Moe Harkless Josh McRoberts, Christian Eyenga and a protected 1st-round pick from each of the other three teams: Future first-round pick from Philadelphia (with some protection, likely through the Lottery), 2014 first-round pick from Denver (the lower of the Nuggets' two first-rounders that year; Denver also has New York's first-round pick from the Carmelo Anthony deal), 2017 first-round pick from the Lakers

I'm a Laker fan, so I'm really happy with this trade if Howard has recovered well from his back surgery. Bynum showed great development last year, but Howard is a once in a life time player that teams cannot miss if they have the opportunity. The Lakers with this trade have now a big 4 with Kobe, Nash, Gasol and Howard. Lets see if Kobe can get 1 or 2 more rings.
