The Los Angeles Lakers have acquired Carlos Boozer on amnesty waivers. Boozer was released by the Chicago Bulls earlier this week, and teams with cap space could make a bid on a portion of his $16.8 million contract.
The Lakers won the Boozer auction with a blind bid of $3.25 million, sources told ESPN.com's Marc Stein.
That means Chicago must pay the remaining $13.6 million that Boozer is owed in 2014-15 on the final year of his current contract.
