NBA Free Agency: Los Angeles Lakers Claim Carlos Boozer
We can finally end the Carlos Boozer amnesty talk and where he will go because the power forward finally has a destination. He is headed to the Los Angeles Lakers.

It is unknown at the moment how much the Lakers will be paying for his services after the bidding process.
Boozer provides extra front court depth to go along with recent draftee, Julius Randle, and recent free agent signing, Ed Davis. More than likely, he will be in the opening night starting lineup (my speculation). He averaged 13.7 PPG and 8.3 RPG in 28.2 MPG this past season with the Chicago Bulls.
