They are very knowledgeable Adrian Wojnarowski and Marc Stein who report it to us: Tyson Chandler and the Phoenix Suns, it’s over!
After four years in the hot Arizona sun, the 2012 defender, still paid $ 13.5 million this season, would like to move on to other horizons.
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.

Thus, the 2011 NBA champion with Dallas should find his former opponent in these finals, LeBron James, and thus join the Lakers who are sorely lacking in size behind Javale McGee.
It is a start, sportingly unimportant for the Suns, but all the same not negligible for the locker room, which is more when you have a pivot as young and talented as DeAndre Ayton, who could have learned a lot from Chandler. Conversely, the Lakers would recover a pivot with experience, being able to bring 10-15 interesting minutes in rotation and above all to be a non-negligible defensive contribution when we know the difficulties of Angelinos in this area.
Suns and Chandler have had a mutual agreement on a buyout on his $13M-plus expiring deal for some time now, but Chandler needed a landing spot. Chandler found it with Lakers, who need size, and as @espn_macmahon says, will welcome his locker room presence. https://t.co/swUWLgLOOL
