The Mavericks and the New York Knicks have agreed to a six-player trade that sends center Tyson Chandler back to Dallas.

The Mavericks, who immediately made reacquiring Chandler one of their priorities after their first-round playoff exit against San Antonio, completed a trade with the Knicks that was clinched by agreeing to take back the contract of New York's out-of-favor guard Raymond Felton as well.

The trade 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 the 34th and 51st picks in Thursday's draft.

The deal was first reported by ESPN.com's Marc Stein.

I highly rate Chandler, I think they got him for not much of a loss.

Not a bad return for a washed up center and a lazy/old PG. I am not a fan of Jose Calderon's contract, but the speculation is that he will work well with the triangle offense, so that's OK. I think the Knicks have a good chance to get a talented player with that 34th pick.

Don't be surprised if Phil Jackson deals Larkin or Dalembert in search of his elusive first round pick. Rumor is the Knicks like Tyler Ennis.
