The Dwightmare is Finally Over

Dwight Howard finally got traded. But is it fair for the small market teams?
Dwight Howard finally got traded. After there were trade talks for what seems like an eternity, one finally went through. If you somehow didn't hear the news, here is the trade:
Lakers get: Dwight Howard, Chris Duhon, and Earl Clark.
Nuggets get: Andre Iguodala.
76ers get: Andrew Bynum and Jason Richardson.
Magic get: Arron Afflalo, Al Harrington, Nikola Vucevic, Moe Harkless, Josh McRoberts, Christain Eyenga, a protected first round draft pick from each of the other three teams, and two other draft picks.
Wow. What a mouthful. It took four teams, 12 players, five draft picks, and trade talking for a ton of time, but it finally is over. But what about the Lakers now? Is it fair that they have four all-stars and amazing depth of players on their team? Is it fair that only 4 or 5 big market teams have a real shot at the title, and that everyone else will be left in the dust? Is this league just a bunch of guys playing basketball, or is it more than that? Oh well. I guess I can write all I want about it, but it won't change a thing. I guess i'll just enjoy watching my favorite sport.
