Tyson Chandler has agreed to a buyout with the Phoenix Suns and plans to sign with the Los Angeles Lakers.

The sides agreed to a buyout on the $13.6 million left in the final year of his original four-year deal.

Chandler will be a backup to starting center JaVale McGee. The Lakers have had a lack of size up front.

The prorated minimum for Chandler once he clears waivers will be $2.1 million. The Lakers will have a $1.3 million cap hit on the books.
