this is an interesting article on yahoo.
The Los Angeles Lakers are about to acquire Dwight Howard, because the NBA is the best/worst | Ball Don't Lie - Yahoo! Sports
guy makes a good point that the magic took a worse offer this time around compared to the brooklyn offer of lopez, brooks, 4 first rounders or the houston/lakers offer where they would at least get one of gasol or bynum.
they didn't really get much out in this deal accept for a bunch of junk players (maybe ok role players) along with those 3 first rounders. some people feels that afflalo is overpaid with the new contract he just signed. i am one of those people.
and funny how they called igoudala the ultimate denver nuggets player. i feel that golden state was in that mold for a few years when they were acquiring a bunch of young talent.

the lakers would have had to got rid of someone else with a big contract (gasol) for iggy and that's not that great of a trade.
