    Same way Orlando and NJ were busting balls wanting to get a deal done, right?
    And the same way LA, Cleveland, and Orlando were busting balls to get a deal done.

    'They want to get a deal done!'

    Whatever.

    All sources go to hell and can take with them 'a deal is imminent' and 'a deal is close'.

    HAHA. Looks like Orlando settling for trash and getting bent over by the Lakers.

    Man, Orlando really gets the shaft here, if this is true.

    I'd figure our deal would be more attractive for them, at least pick-wise and young player-wise, but I guess not.

    "Neither is Howard" was my tweet response to him.

    if the trade did go through it wouldn't change anything for the lakers and the sixers would definitely get the win in this trade overall

    FWIW:

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p><a href="https://twitter.com/search/?q=%23SixersTalk"><s>#</s><b>SixersTalk</b></a> this four team trade has "huge legs" according to source.

    With that said, response to the above:

    Nick Lennox ‏@NXML129
    No offense to these #CSNTALK reporters #LOL but they're always 1 day or 18 hours late on ALL rumor info that has "huge legs" @dlynamCSN

    You know why I highly doubt this Dwight deal will happen (other than the 4-team deal thing)? We know about it. Lakers don't deal that way. When was the last time we knew about a big Laker trade before it happened? I honestly don't remember. The Nash thing was done in 2 seconds.
