Week In Review: 8/6/12 - 8/12/12

Finally, we can stop speculating about where Dwight Howard will end up...for now, anyway.  The Lakers acquired the big man in a massive four-team deal which sent Andrew Bynum to the 76ers, Andre Iguodala to the 76ers, and a whole lotta draft picks to the Magic.  Orlando may not have come out with an elite talent in the trade, but they gave themselves a ton of flexibility going forward, including a $17.8MM trade exception.  Our other top stories of the past week..

• Team USA topped Spain to win gold behind strong play from LeBron James and Kevin Durant.
