The Lakers have landed Dwight Howard, the biggest player on the market this off-season, in a 4-team trade. Here's a chart to break down who got who.

Team - Receives in trade
Lakers - Dwight Howard, Chris Duhon, Earl Clark
Nuggets - Andre Iguodala
76ers - Andrew Bynum, Jason Richardson
Magic* - Arron Afflalo, Al Harrington, Nikola Vucevic, Moe Harkless, Josh McRoberts, Christian Eyenga

*Magic also receive protected future 1st round picks from all 3 other teams involved in the trade.

The Lakers are now, if they weren't already, a huge favorite to win a championship next season.

This is a huge trade. Probably one of the biggest single trade in a quite a while. Howard, Bynum, and Iguodala are all allstars.

So who won?
 
I think the Lakers won. Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash, Dwight Howard, and Pau Gasol on the same team. The Lakers will have a few seasons of being awful once Steve Nash and Kobe Bryant retire. Then they'd probably only have Dwight Howard, as I think they'll trade Pau Gasol eventually. Dwight Howard is the guy who constantly complained in Orlando, and I could see him doing the very same in Los Angeles once they're back to their losing ways. The Lakers are committing their future to Dwight Howard. Anyways, I didn't think the Lakers were going to do much better this coming season with Steve Nash, but now that they have Dwight Howard as well, there is going to be trouble for Oklahoma City.
 
FINALLLLLYYY! It's about time something happened. Lakers and Thunder are going to be some intense games. Don't know really how much better they got. Andrew Bynum was better offensively, but they for sure got better for the long run.
 
I'm just glad the Dwightmare is over now. And I feel bad for Magic fans.
 
Yeah the Magic didn't get anyone in return! They said they would have done Dwight Howard for Bynum straight up, and now they don't even have Bynum!
