Dallas has gotten off to a hot 19-8 start, while New York started 5-22 - the worst start in franchise history.

Chandler is averaging 10.8 points and 11.5 rebounds per game this season. The three players New York received in the deal - Jose Calderon (8.5 ppg, 3.9 apg), Samuel Dalembert (3.9 ppg, 5.2 rpg), and Shane Larkin (5.6 ppg, 2.3 rpg) - have all struggled to make an impact this season.
