Sixers reportedly involved in 4-team Lakers/Magic Dwight Howard trade

Yahoo! Sports’ Adrian Wojnarowski dropped this bombshell on the Twitters just now:

Orlando and the L.A. Lakers are engaged in 4-way talks with Denver and Philadelphia on a Dwight Howard blockbuster, league sources tell Y!

The four teams have been engaged in discussions for several days, league sources tell Y!No deal imminent, but talks have substance.

Whoa.

As sick as I am of hearing about this Dwight Howard drama, I’m surprised that Philly is now in the mix.

Wojo says that the Sixers would probably ship Andre Iguodala to Denver, while they would get Lakers center Andrew Bynum.

He cautions that this is all subject to change, so knowing our luck, the Sixers will probably end up with one of the throw-in guys the teams were trying to get rid of to shed salary. Or, oh my God, worst of all, they could end up with Metta World Peace. Then we’d all actually have to say and write “Metta World Peace” all season long. The horror… the horror…
