Tyson Chandler is expected to be bought out by the Phoenix Suns, and another West Coast team could be in the lead for his services after that.
The New York Times’ Marc Stein reported on Saturday about Chandler’s buyout and says the Los Angeles Lakers will be “at the front of the line” to sign him.

Chandler is expected to clear waivers after reaching a buyout with the Suns due to his $13.6 million salary. The 36-year-old center has averaged 3.7 points and 5.6 rebounds in 12.7 minutes per game this season, his fourth with the Suns. He was surpassed on the depth chart in Phoenix by Richaun Holmes, which likely contributes to his impending buyout.
