New York's deal centered on sending Tyson Chandler to Dallas will be finalized today, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

[Double-Up]

He's better than Dalembert/Dirk/Blair trying to guard the rim. Still not a le team, but a good step in the right direction.

Now if you excuse me, I'm going to go masturbate furiously in the bathroom stall here at work.

Don't forget to wash your hands.

Calderon is a decent upgrade over Felton and a better triangle point guard. Calderone is 32, so it's not like he's super old. Also players better defense than Felton. I like where Phil's head is at. He's trusting the system rather than the star players. (Like what San Antonio does)

[baseline bum]

Now just gotta bring back Beaubois

[spurraider21]

if they actually go after Jason Terry

[Donkeybong]

So for eating ~3M this year and giving up a 2nd rounder, the Mavs get the better player (Chandler), the better contract (Felton) and more cap flexibility beyond next year. What am I missing?

Knicks under the cap now and can receive a sign and trade. Also better stability. Rumors were chandler wasn't thrilled about playing in the triangle (he's more of a run and gun player anyways)

Calderon is actually a solid fit for a team running the triangle, but that roster is a mess anyway. I'd rather keep the giant expiring deal

Plus I don't think people realize how awful Felton really is.

[AlexJones]

I can't take this anymore.

They refuse to use DUST on Al Jefferson. Then they spend it immediately to get Tyson ing Chander??????????????????????????????????????

After months of hyping the "DUST chip" and promising miracles, I knew after the Jefferson debacle Cuban was going to have to scramble and use it before a fan mutiny was on his hands. I figured he'd go after the best deal available, Iggy/Brand. Instead he panic trades DUST for TYSON ING CHANDLER?????????

I've had it.

YOU MARK

YOU DONNIE

YOU RICK

TYSON ING CHANDLER, ARE YOU GUYS ING TING ME????????

[Clipper Nation]

Why on Earth are the Mavs doing this trade? Chandler is far from 2011 Chandler, Felton is a joke, and they're giving away draft picks too.... is Cuban trying to become the next Fredo?

[LakerHater]

Samuel Dalembert jus confermed he was bein traded!

[blkroadrunners]

I have a feeling the Mavs ain't done yet for the off-season. Somethin's a up in South Oklahoma.

Cuban coaxing Jax to take Calderon's contract. Melo already out the door

Dalembert ing sucks and is older than Chandler.

Who cares? We got a legit center again.

[spurraider21]

[Raven]

good trade for both, ny needs to blow it up and dallas gets better this way.

[Donkeybong]

Who cares? We got a legit center again.

Definitely better than what you had. I'm just saying watching Felton on the Knicks was ing agonizing

[Phillip]

Who cares? We got a legit center again.

Plus Felton isn't being asked to be anything more than a role player. If they keep Carter, then the guard rotation will be pretty decent with Harris/Felton and Ellis/Carter.

Hopefully they can now get Luol Deng. And if he is willing to take such a role, getting Gasol to back up Dirk and Chandler would be a great move as well, although it probably won't happen.

[tmtcsc]

What will the Spurs do now?!?!? Who's next, Michael Finley. LOL! They should have never let Chandler walk and they should have never got him back.

[ElNono]

I like it. They're addressing their main problem which was protection around the rim. They do really need to make another move or two, like flipping Felton for a better P&R PG and shoring up the wing... Marion doesn't cut it anymore, IMO.

[DPG21920]

Who cares about Felton sucking. Calderon, while a better player, isn't a good player and hasn't won due in large part to his short-comings as a player. So while he may improve NY due to replacing Felton, losing Tyson for Sam negates that any ways.

They lose future cap space/flexibility, lose the best player on an expiring deal (aka the most tradeable asset) & make no gains on the court. Yes, they might open themselves up to getting below the apron for Sign & Trades, but they literally have no good assets that teams would want

They have no cap space this year to sign FA's outright. They have a terrible team still. They have less cap space in the future. They have less tradeable assets IMO all for the ability to possibly do Sign & Trades this year & 2 2nd round picks. Ok.

Better teammates for Lebron:

Dirk
Tyson
Monta

Or

Wade
Bosh
Norris Cole
