Dwight Howard Trade Call Scheduled For Friday Morning
Aug 09, 2012 10:04 PM EDT

The Lakers are set to acquire Dwight Howard in a four-team trade involving the Magic, Nuggets and Sixers.

A source tells Marc Stein that a trade call has been scheduled with the NBA league office for Friday morning.

The reported deal would send Howard to the Lakers, Andre Iguodala going to the Nuggets, Andrew Bynum and Jason Richardson to the Sixers, while the Magic would receive at least Arron Afflalo, Nikola Vucevic, Moe Harkless and a first round pick from each of the other teams.

It was reported earlier on Thursday that Pau Gasol would be included in a trade, but sources indicate that he will remain with the Lakers.

So, Kobe comes out and says he's retiring in 2 years. The Lakers somehow get Dwight for Bynum while Orlando doesn't even get anything but Affalo and Vucevic, Moe Harkless. :laugh:

The Orlando Magic are officially the worst organization of the decade.
