Re: Post-Dwight Rebuilding | Orlando Magic Association

Report: Dwight Howard has been traded to Los Angeles Lakers.

August 10, 2012 - 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 the Lakers will receive Howard, the Denver Nuggets will acquire Andre Iguodala, the 76ers will receive Andrew Bynum and Jason Richardson, and the Magic will get Arron Afflalo, Al Harrington, Nikola Vucevic, Josh McRoberts, Christian Eyenga, Nikola Vucevic, and one protected future first-round pick from each of the three teams.The Lakers also will acquire Earl Clark and Chris Duhon, a source told ESPN The Magazine's Chris Broussard. Draft picks the Magic will receive are the Nuggets' (2014), 76ers' (2015) and Lakers' (2017).
In addition, the Magic will be getting other pieces, including 76ers first-round draft pick Moe Harkless, a source told Stein.
Sources close to the process told Stein and ESPNLosAngeles.com's Ramona Shelburne that a trade call with the league office has been scheduled for Friday to secure the necessary NBA approval to make the deal official.
If the deal goes through, Howard will have to wait to make his debut with the Lakers since he is expected to miss the start of the regular season as he continues to recover from back surgery, according to sources.
Howard would face his former team for the first time in Los Angeles on Dec. 2. His return to Orlando would come March 12.
Lakers forward Pau Gasol had been in and out of talks, sources told Shelburne, before ultimately being excluded.
One source briefed on Howard's plans told Stein the All-Star center will indeed stand firm on his intent to play out the 2012-13 season without extending his contract so he can become a free agent on July 1, 2013. Going that route will enable Howard to decide how comfortable he is in Los Angeles before deciding whether to re-sign with the Lakers or join the Dallas Mavericks, who will have the requisite salary-cap space to sign Howard and remain one of his preferred destinations from his original list of three teams (Brooklyn Nets, Lakers and Mavericks).
"If Los Angeles doesn't work out for Dwight, Dallas will be there waiting for him," the source told Stein.
One source close to Kobe Bryant, meanwhile, told Stein the Lakers' star was ecstatic Thursday night upon hearing that Los Angeles was able to complete such a significant transaction without surrendering Gasol. Bryant is with Team USA at the London Olympics.
"Well, it looks like Superman has found a home," Bryant posted on his Facebook page. "I wish nothing but the best for Big Bynum. I hope he follows what was a great season last year with an even better one next year. I know LA is excited about the deal and rightfully so. The Lakers landed a piece that will hopefully carry the franchise long after I'm gone. I have spoken to Dwight Howard already and we are locked and loaded to bring back the title."
Sources told Broussard that Philadelphia has not spoken to Bynum or his representatives, and has no assurances he will sign a long-term extension with the team.
"The Sixers are willing to take a shot (without Bynum's commitment)," one source said.
Although Bynum signing an extension with the 76ers is not out of the question, according to a source, his stance all summer has been he will sign an extension with only the Lakers.
Bynum, who grew up about an hour away from Philadelphia in Plainsboro, N.J., could sign a three-year, $60 million extension this season or wait to become a free agent after the season and be eligible for a five-year, $102 million deal.
Near the end of July, Howard met with Magic general manager Rob Hennigan and reiterated his desire to be traded, saying that if he wasn't, he would leave the team as a free agent after next season.
The Lakers' position on Howard had remained relatively unchanged for the past few months, league sources familiar with the situation told ESPNLosAngeles.com. The Lakers always had been willing to trade for Howard without assurances he'd re-sign with them after the season, believing that once Howard experienced a championship culture, he would want to stay for the long haul.

BREAKING NEWS: Forward Hedo Turkoglu breaks nose again, out for 6-8 weeks.

Turkoglu's nose split open during 3rd quarter in the Magic-Heat game, and had to go directly to the hospital.

m

ORLANDO, FL - Magic SF Hedo Turkoglu broke his nose while colliding with Joel Anthony when Hedo was going in for a layup. Anthony was going to block the shot, but when someone blocks a shot, they block it hard, so Anthony hit Hedo's nose very hard. Hedo was laying on the floor for about a minute screaming of the injury, Jacque Vaughn then called timeout. Trainers and staff had to see Turkoglu, and they had to take him straight to the hospital. Turkoglu is averaging 7.0 ppg, 1 rpg, and 3.5 apg in only 2 games. Jacque Vaughn saying, "Its tough that we got to lose Hedo for more than a month, maybe two months. Since he is injured, Moe Harkless will be getting more minutes, Ishmael Smith will also be getting more minutes. Smith is a very good player who has alot of potential, I'm looking forward to see how he is."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quick Servey Question: Now that Turkoglu is out, what should I do?

A) Give Most of the Mins to Improving Ishmael Smith
B) Give little each minutes to each player
C) Give more minutes to bench
D) Give some minutes to Eyenga and Q-Rich, and rest to Bench Players.

Please answer this question ASAP so i can make changes, I will ask this question again, because some people might not answer, so don't mind if I do.

As you see, the lineup for this game is kind of a change up, as Jacque Vaughn says, "If the Knicks are going small with Carmelo at PF and Amare at C, why not us going small to? Ishmael Smith has been improving showing in practice, and also in games. He will be the future Star PG of this organization when Nelson is gone. I want to see if (Glen) Davis can play at C, Harkless at PF, Afflalo at SF, and Jameer Nelson at SG. It will be weird to see Nelson at SG, because of his height and how he plays, but this will be just 1-2 games. Since we are a losing team, why not take a risk of testing out some stuff and lineups."

Considering Turkoglu is injured, I'd give the minutes to someone who plays his position....in particular Maurice Harkless.
Or if you are looking for experience, I'd slide Harrington into the 3 since he is a tweener 3-4 anyway. And bump his minutes up a bit.

Ish Smith is a PG so I don't see him getting extra minutes In Hedo's absence being beneficial

On a side note, I'll be following your dynasty. Good job setting up with all of the charts/pictures/stories. Looking forward to more updates!
