 Dallas have sent starting point guard Jose Calderon, center
Samuel Dalembert, reserves Shane Larkin and Wayne Ellington along
with two picks in Thursday's NBA draft in exchange for Chandler and
point guard Raymond Felton.
The deal reunites the 31-year-old Chandler with the Mavericks after
he helped them capture the NBA title in 2011.
This also marks the first major move for the Knicks since Phil
Jackson took over as their President of Basketball Operations.
"The journey to build this team for the upcoming season and beyond
continues," Jackson said in a statement. "We have added players with
this move that will fit right in our system while maintaining future
flexibility."
New York has also recently hired Derek Fisher as their new coach and
hope to re-sign Carmelo Anthony after he opted for free agency.
