Just gotta get Terry from Sacramento now, and send Felton to a labor camp.

The Dallas Mavericks are on the verge of reacquiring center Tyson Chandler from the New York Knicks, according to sources close to the process.
[+] EnlargeNathaniel S. Butler/NBAE/Getty ImagesSources say the Mavericks are close to reacquiring Tyson Chandler, who went to the Knicks after helping the Mavs to a le in 2011.
Sources told ESPN.com that the Mavericks, who immediately made reacquiring Chandler one of their priorities after their first-round playoffs exit to San Antonio, soon will complete a trade with the Knicks that they will clinch by agreeing to take back the contract of New York's out-of-favor guard Raymond Felton, as well.
The trade is expected to cost Dallas two starters -- point guard Jose Calderon and center Samuel Dalembert-- along with prized young point guardShane Larkin, reserve guard Wayne Ellington and future second-round draft compensation.
Chandler is the player Dallas has missed most since it decided to let go several key contributors in free agency after the team's championship run in 2011.
Chandler, 31, wound up landing a four-year, $60 million deal in free agency with the Knicks that year that has one season remaining.
The departures of Chandler and Felton are believed to be just the start of a roster overhaul by new Knicks president Phil Jackson, with Jackson pursing as much salary-cap flexibility as he can in hopes of convincing star free agent-to-be Carmelo Anthony to stay.
Calderon to Felton is a downgrade but with Ellis at the helm all we need from the PG position is a 3 point threat..

Good trade. But lol at Cuban admitting he should have resigned Chandler.
Dallas would be sending $15,341,893 in the deal. NY would send $18,490.581 in proposed deal.Mavs would then absorb $3,048,688 this season
Still have money to absord a big free agent assuming Nowitzki comes back on 3 years/36 mil
I thought it never would've happened due to Cubes' ego but props to the guy
Don't see the point tbh, Chandler seems almost done... And Felton is a huge downgrade from Calderon...
last gasp. Chandler/Dirk should be OK if they're healthy. They still have Monta and cap room too
Too late, the Spurs are the Mavs daddy and they know it. We may not repeat but it won't be the Mavs who take us out. Non issue.
there's literally no risk in absorbing Chandler's expiring deal.
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.
true. i'm not sure of NY's motives here, considering they have Calderon for 3 overpaid seasons... and this move is supposed to entice Melo to stay? yikes
Can't believe Phil is stupid enough to ask for Calderon and not Ellis in return
What a horrible trade for Dallas. They have the power in negotiations. Why are they capitulating to such stupid demands?
Chandler is only 31, so the washed up talk is a bit premature.
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?
What stupid demands?
