Aug 10 (Reuters) - The Orlando Magic have traded six-times
All-Star Dwight Howard to the Los Angeles Lakers as part of a
four-team, 12-player deal including the Denver Nuggets and
Philadelphia 76ers, the NBA teams said on Friday.
The deal thrusts the Lakers back into the mix of contenders
for an NBA title as Howard, the face of the Magic franchise and
a three-time defensive player of the year, joins Kobe Bryant,
Pao Gasol and Steve Nash in Los Angeles.
