On Thursday, just two days after Chandler scored eight points and tallied 14 rebounds in a Mavs win over the Knicks, Jackson defended the move in a series of tweets.
Even though the team hasn't turned it around, it is a positive sign that Fisher appears to be showing some growth.
The Knicks are a franchise-worst 5-22. They have to do something, right?
If you look, you'll see the winning organizations are more organic in their success. It starts, like it often does, with ownership, which is where we hit our dead end on Seventh Avenue.

Tyson Chandler had three dunks during Dallas' sizzling start to his return to New York, and Dirk Nowitzki scored 16 points to help the Mavericks beat the Knicks 107-87 on Tuesday night.

"Come on, man," the Knicks star responded Friday. "After all the work I did to get here and get back here, if I was to get up and want to leave now, that would just make me weak."
This is going to be a time-consuming and painful process with the Knicks, and Carmelo Anthony is finally realizing that.
The guys discussed the notion of Melo taking his money and running - perhaps to Chicago - as the Knicks continue to spiral downwards in spectacular fashion.
Let me start by saying I'm sorry. And then let me tell you why this Knicks debacle is your doing.
Could it get any worse without the injured Carmelo Anthony? Well, yes.
Marco Belinelli scored a season-high 22 points and the short-handed San Antonio Spurs rolled to a 109-95 victory over New York on Wednesday night.
Making matters worse surrounding the inept Knicks, word of unrest in the locker room has surfaced and Craig doesn't think Carmelo will be playing again anytime soon.
December 15 is coming, and Jackson was wise to say he wouldn't make a move for the sake of making a move. But make no mistake about it: Change is coming, whether it's now or after the season.
Jackson still has plenty of time to turn this disaster around, but the 'Bockers look to be in worse shape than ever -- both on the court and off.
"You came to be the savior and all of a sudden it's like, ugh. Then you went and got Derek Fisher. Really, is he coaching? Is Derek Fisher coaching? I don't get it. I don't know what's up with that team, man."
Things could go from bad to worse for the slumping Knicks. Melo says a left knee injury that has been bothering him much of this season isn't getting better.
Tyreke Evans scored 27 points, Anthony Davis added 18 points and three blocks, and the New Orleans Pelicans dropped the reeling New York Knicks to their ninth straight loss, 104-93 on Tuesday night.
