Sources tell ESPN that Mavericks are in advanced talks on deal to complete trade that will bring Chandler and Raymond Felton to Dallas

Proposed deal would send two Mavs starters to Knicks -- Sam Dalembert and Jose Calder?n -- as well as prized young guard Shane Larkin

And here comes the tear down stage of the rebuild.  It'd be nice to see Chandler back with the Mavs again at least.

finally the ball starts rolling....

wonder what Dallas or NY have in store

[RJ87]

Tyson is an improvement over Sam, but Ray is a downgrade at PG compared to Calderon. Lateral move as of now for the Mavs.

I wonder how does this effect Dallas' cap? Will they still have enough money to bring in Deng?

Hopefully he can stay healthy.

Felton is worse than Calderon, but Felton's contract is far less onerous. Paying Calderon 7+ million for three more years is killer.

Must be also a 2014 draft pick involed for the knicks

what's dalmbert/calderon's contract situation?

Does this mean Melo is as good as gone?

They're shedding a ton of salary (Dalembert's salary is only partially guaranteed for $1.8 I think) and they're getting Shane Larkin back in the deal. I hope Dallas doesn't give up a pick unless it's a 2nd rounder.

Framework is Calderon, Dalembert, Larkin and Ellington for Chandler and Felton, sources confirm. ESPN first.

Their cap space depends on how big of a contract Dirk wants.  If he wants to get paid like Tim Duncan, the Mavs should have the space to make a reasonable offer.  They can still bring back Devin Harris and Vince Carter and they might still have high hopes for Gal Mekel and Ricky Ledo, so their guard rotation isn't completely blown.
