Chandler has a career averages of 8.6 points and 9.4 rebounds per game and would provide length and experience behind the current starter JaVale McGee. He could also help their defensive lapses as he has been a Defensive Player of the Year and has been heralded for his defense. Head coach Luke Walton also appears to be on thin ice with Magic Johnson and the front office as the Lakers have gotten off to a slow start in the very competitive Western Conference.
