Over the years the Lakers have never had their greatness doubted as much as they had earlier in the season. Greats like Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson have worn the famous purple and yellow stripes. In more recent years the Lakers enjoyed a large period of success with the combination of the perfect big man/small man duo in Shaq and Kobe, under the management of Phil Jackson.

The nearly 2 year long soap opera may be close to finally airing its last episode as the Brooklyn Nets appear to be finalizing a four team trade that would land them Dwight Howard. After resigning Deron Williams and trading for Joe Johnson, the Nets brass became even more aggressive in their pursuit to bring Howard to the city that never sleeps and for a big three of their own.
Couple that with the sign and trade of Ryan Anderson to the New Orleans Hornets over the weekend, it’s clear that the Magic are thinking rebuild. According to league sources, the Magic would send Dwight Howard, Jason Richardson and Earl Clark to the Nets. In return, the Magic would receive Brook Lopez (sign and trade), Damion Jones, Luke Walton, Armon Johnson, Sheldon Williams and three first round picks.
