It appears there's a new favorite in the Western Conference.

ESPN is reporting that Orlando center Dwight Howard is heading to the Los Angeles Lakers as part of a blockbuster deal.

As part of the deal, the Denver Nuggets would reportedly receive Andre Iguodala, the 76ers would get Andrew Bynum and Jason Richardson, and the Magic would get Arron Afflalo, Al Harrington, Nikola Vuvevic, and a future draft pick.

If the trade goes through, Howard would join Kobe Bryant and newly-acquired Steve Nash.
