Mavs close to acquiring Chandler and Feton

[snipezo]

Dallas Mavericks are on the verge of reacquiring center Tyson Chandler from the New York Knicks, according to sources close to the process.

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 guard Shane Larkin, reserve guard Wayne Ellington and future second-round draft compensation.

Am I missing the rationale behind this for the Knicks? 
They are essentially getting nothing for Chandler.
Calderon is old, and has a bloated contract. Dalembert is ok. Larkin is an unknown. 
 
Feel like you can fetch more for Tyson than this. But IDK.

I kindof like this. I think Calderon is better than Felton. Delambert isn't better than chandler but like Rip said he's okay. And I like Larkin, kid seems to have some potential. Wayne Ellington? Im guessing he's just scraps to get the deal done.

I think the deal also frees up more CAP for the Mavs, who are one of the teams interested in Melo.

I'm neutral on this right now. I like Chandler, not happy seeing him leave.

Yea jose has 3 more years.

He was signed to 4/$29mill last year
