Sources: Dwight Howard to Lakers Deal Complete

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, I didn't think they would bring it back from the death like this. Him deciding LA is one of his options made it happen.

Howard will like Nash, he is a friend to big men.

They were going to lose Howard anyways, they aren't getting anyone that would make a huge impact short term but getting a first round pick from each of the three teams is huge. It all depends on who they pick.
