Did the Orlando Magic get a better deal for Dwight Howard from the Lakers than they would have from the Nets

Yes, the pieces Orlando got from Lakers deal were better than those rumored in the Nets deal.

In the Nets deal, the would have received Brook Lopez, possibly on a a max contract. This would probably be the worst contract in the NBA Cheap Kobe Shoes Outlet. Lopez would have massive negative value with a large contract. Orlando has learned how much bad contracts hurt your team flexibility from players like Gilbert Arenas, Rashard Lewis, and Hedo Turkoglu. Cap room and flexibility is very important for rebuilding teams, especially with the new collective bargaining agreement.

In this Lakers trade, they received a 2011 1st round pick (Vucevic), a 2012 1st round pick (Harkless), 3 other future 1st round picks in 2014, 2015, and 2017, and a young budding star who averaged 15 ppg last year (Afflalo). The Philadelphia and Denver picks would probably be higher than the Nets picks if they got Howard.

In addition to having a lot of young assets that will increase in value once these players get more playing time, Orlando best asset in this trade was their own draft picks. They will have top-5 picks for the next few years, which is much more valuable than anything else they were offered Lebron 11 Elite. New Orleans, for example, was able to get Anthony Davis in the draft and have a good piece to build around, which is by far the best piece they (indirectly) acquired due to the Chris Paul trade.
