In the summer of 2010, the Mavericks acquired Chandler in a trade with the Charlotte Bobcats. At the time Chandler was in the final year of his contract, but what a year it was for the Mavericks.

Chandler became the emotional and fiery leader for the Mavericks. He protected the rim and brought a defensive culture that helped the Mavericks win the 2011 NBA championship before he signed a four-year, $60 million free-agent contract with the New York Knicks.

Fast forward three years, and owner Mark Cuban and president of basketball operations Donnie Nelson decided to acquire Chandler in a trade with the Knicks.

Again, Chandler is in the final year of his contract.
