Well okay! Here we go:
ESPN has learned that Dallas Mavericks are on verge of reacquiring Tyson Chandler in trade with New York Knicks. Story going online now

Sources tell ESPN that Mavericks are in advanced talks on deal to complete trade that will bring Chandler and Raymond Felton to Dallas

Proposed deal would send two Mavs starters to Knicks -- Sam Dalembert and Jose Calderón -- as well as prized young guard Shane Larkin

Dalembert's next season is non-guaranteed. Jose Calderon is on a long-term deal until 2017. Larkin is on a rookie deal with a team option next summer.
Without having thought about it at all: I like Larkin and I like an expiring and I like getting rid of Felton but I uhhhhh hope y'all actually want to build around Calderon, Knicks, because that's a fat deal. Unless there is another trade to come.
Also, Dallas does not have a first-round pick this year. They do have two second-rounders. More as it comes.
UPDATE (4:30 PM): Stein has the Knicks getting Wayne Ellington (expiring) and a *future* Mavs second-rounder as well.
UPDATE (4:56 PM):
New York's deal centered on sending Tyson Chandler to Dallas will be finalized today, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

Update (5:01 PM): This would be very nice:
Another proposed part of the Knicks-Mavericks deal, source tells Yahoo: Dallas would send 34th overall pick to New York.

This would be even nicer:
In proposed deal, Dallas would send the Knicks its 2014 second round picks: Nos. 34 and 51, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

Update (5:44 PM) Now let's see exactly what it is:
