Deal is complete.

http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/82520 ... l-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 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.

Damn, can't even get unprotected picks for the best center in the league. Weak. Probably won't matter anyway, none of them will be good picks.

Reports indicate all teams have agreed to the terms of the deal. Tomorrow's call is to get NBA's approval. Adios Dwight.
