The Los Angeles Lakers are expected to make their first big in-season roster move by signing veteran center Tyson Chandler to a deal. Chandler agreed to a buyout with the Phoenix Suns and once he clears waivers is expected to sign with the Lakers.
The move makes a ton of sense for both sides as Chandler provides the Lakers with a big body who can match up with the stronger centers in the league, and stability as a backup behind JaVale McGee.
For Chandler, this allows him to have a bigger role on a team that will be competing for the playoffs.
