Knicks trade Tyson Chandler to Dallas

[Chris22]

Tyson Chandler returned to the team he won a championship with in 2011, as the New York Knicks dealt the center to the Dallas Mavericks in a six-player trade Wednesday, two people with knowledge of the talks told USA TODAY Sports.

The people spoke on the condition of anonymity because the deal was not finalized, but the teams announced the trade later Friday.

The deal will send Chandler and Knicks point guard Raymond Felton to the Mavericks in exchange for Dallas point guard Jose Calderon, center Samuel Dalembert, shooting guard Wayne Ellington, 21-year-old point guard Shane Larkin and the 34th and 51st pick in Thursday's draft.

Dallas really is not good at evaluating aging talent.....

That's your takeaway? Not that they just cleared enough space to make a max offer to someone?

I think it'll be interesting to see if Felton bottoms out after being traded from NY (again).

The Mavericks acquired 18.4m in guaranteed contracts for 2014-2015.  They sent out $13.3m (Dalembert is only partially guaranteed for next season).  Dallas has less cap space after this trade.

Chandler and Dirk together.

It sounds good to me.
