Mavs Get Chandler From Bobcats In 5-Player Deal

Tyson Chandler has been traded after all, just not to the team he thought a day earlier.
After Charlotte's potential deal with Toronto fell through, the Bobcats sent Chandler and fellow center Alexis Ajinca to the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday for center Erick Dampier, forward Eduardo Najera, shooting guard Matt Carroll and cash considerations.
The Bobcats had been closing in on a deal that would've sent Chandler and Boris Diaw to Toronto for Jose Calderon and Reggie Evans. Chandler was told he was being sent to the Raptors by his agent, but the deal dissolved.
The new trade gives the Bobcats a center in Dampier, but leaves them still searching for a point guard to replace departed free agent Raymond Felton.
