Per Woj:
As @TheSteinLine reports, center Tyson Chandler is getting a buyout with the Suns and will become a free agent upon clearing waivers. Chandler will sign with the Lakers, league sources tell ESPN.
Much needed, this is HUGE for us.

Cool. I still remember him on the Dominguez Dons with a godawful tattoo he's since had removed.

Welcome to the Lakers, now McGee will have more energy to help the team with a reliable big on the roster. |

i'm certain none of us have been this excited for a backup C in our times of being a fan.
no more 6'8 guys at backup C with no other options!! |

Do we need to waive anyone? If so, I rather keep Jonathan Williams than Zu. |

It sounds crazy because he isn't what he once was but this is a big difference maker for us I think. _________________ 14-5-3-12 |

LG's had 5,958 threads about how much LeBron sucks in the past decade so we can move on from those chants easily enough. |

Williams on a two-way so he can just go to the G-League. We only had him 45 days anyway. _________________ "Suck it up. Don't be a baby. Do your job." - Kobe Bryant |

Check out his stats with PHX, he got a few 10/10 games... this signing could be like Detroit signing Rasheed in 2004 to lift them to the title. |
