Dwight Howard Traded to the Los Angeles Lakers

Dwight Howard All-Star 2012

After months and months of controversy surrounding Dwight Howard and the Orland Magic trade saga, the pieces have finally fallen into place. Some experts have dubbed this transaction of two dominant big men, Andrew Bynum and Dwight Howard, as the trade of the century.

This momentous offseason trade sends All-Star Andre Iguodala to the Denver Nuggets and Aaron Afflalo to the Orlando Magic along with a few other role players and a couple first round picks. Andrew Bynum will join coach Doug Collins and the Philadelphia 76ers.

This trade means the relocation of a few star players and a major shake up for the entire league. As a result, the Western Conference becomes even stronger and it means the Oklahoma City Thunder will have a rejuvenated nemesis in the Los Angeles Lakers.
