"A source with direct knowledge of the talks told ESPN.com's Marc Stein that the Lakers will receive Howard, the Denver Nuggets will get Andre Iguodala, the 76ers will get 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."

No, it isn't!

Harkless is a future stud. Your team got three more firsts in addition to the high lottery pick you'll receive this season. This is the way to tear down.

THIS!!!

Why not just make the Rockets deal? Wonder if Stern gave you guys the "New Orleans" guarantee of the 1st pick overall. I feel for you guys if this is true.

Harkless=Ariza

I don't know where to start with this trade, or even how to explain just how much it pisses me off !! If that is the best we get for Dwight Howard please let him walk ! Im sick of players running the NBA instead of HC's or GM's ! Everybody wins but the Magic, come on front office how can you give us fans some crap like that to watch. I promise this, they are not going to get any of my money next year.

****. My. Life.

Denver: Lawson, Iguodala, Gallo, Faried, Mcgee.....Dang

Says who? As a St Johns fan, Harkless absolutely has legit bball skills. He might very well be the best part of this deal IMHO when its all said and done.

But as I told Sixer fans, he will need 1 year at least to get used to the NBA and will most importantly need to bulk up. I truly felt he needed a soph. season at St Johns and still feel that way. Be patient with him because he showed amazing flashes for us given rough circumstances(6 man team due to transfers, netting in a ton of minutes when Freshman usually don't do that). Great knack for rebounding in a very tough BE conference, has some really solid post up moves and is improving an outside shot.

He's a project but by no means is the kid a stiff. He's the best player the Johnnies had skill wise since Artest IMHO.

Between Harkless and Nicholson who was awesome a St Bons....I am digging your team alot.

Nowhere near as fast but he's a far better rebounder and has some solid post up skills and can develop an outside shot in due time.

Harkless plays like a PF in a SF body based off what I saw at St Johns. That can obviously change since he's super young but be easy with the kid. Don't expect him to light the league up right away.....

My, oh my, I really feel bad for you guys. This defines poor management. WHY DID ORLANDO TURN DOWN THE NETS' FINAL OFFER OF BROOK LOPEZ, KRIS HUMPHRIES, 4 FIRST ROUNDERS, SALARY CAP RELIEF, AND OTHER STUFF???
