Over the weekend, it was reported that the Los Angeles Lakers were going to be at the front of the line for veteran center, Tyson Chandler.
Chandler had agreed to a buyout with the Phoenix Suns, putting him on waivers. Playing this year on a contract worth about $13.6 million, Chandler was expected to go unclaimed on waivers. If he went unclaimed, he would be free to sign with any team of his choosing.
That is exactly what happened, as no team claimed Chandler. As a result, the Lakers have swooped in, just as they were expected to.
