According to ESPN, Dwight Howard is packing his bag and heading to sunny Los Angeles. It was a four team deal involving the Lakers, Magic, 76ers and Nuggets. The deal not only has Howard heading West, but some other big names on the move as well.

Andrew Bynum will now be with the Philadelphia 76ers, and Andre Iguodala will be going to the Denver Nuggets. A number of younger players will be heading to the Orlando Magic, including Arron Afflalo.

As if it weren't hard enough dealing with Howard in Orlando, he just made the Lakers that much better. You can bet that the rivalry between Boston and LA will be a little bit more heated now.
