That Chandler ended up on the Lakers was no surprise. It's how soon and how it happened that were notable.
Typically, the NBA buyout market doesn't heat up until the February trade deadline. In Chandler's case with the Phoenix Suns, that would've been the expected timeline. The ship had long since sailed on the idea that Chandler would be a part of any sort of championship pursuit in Phoenix, but at least he could serve as a role model and mentor to No. 1 overall pick Deandre Ayton.
And that was the plan…until LeBron called in a favor.
It's no coincidence that the facilitator was Suns vice president of basketball operations James Jones, a close friend and longtime teammate of James.
"They could have bought him out at the trade deadline and gotten great leadership and mentoring for two-thirds of the season," a rival executive told B/R. "But LeBron wanted him now."

I would love to see Ingram at point and Josh Hart as a 2 if Lonzo is out
---
it's unfortunate that Lonzo finally somewhat fixed the shooting but everything else is going wrong, its like opposite of last year. Hope the Lakers are patient with him and don't ship him out

Bynum was huge thoKAT trash, I remember Baby Bynum stunting on Prime Chandler
KAT more of a PF. He’s not a true 7 footer and he has weak base/core strength and a lil too much baby fat on him.
KAT needs to hit the gym we’ve seen this against LeBron, DMC, Tyson, Capela and allegedly he was struggling to back down Jimmy in that infamous practice.

yeah they were talking about this on the radio yesterday. Said James Jones will probably be the President of whatever team Bron ends up buying one day too.
Now if Chandler fukks up I can blame Bron
