Why it happened

The bet each side made

The Mavericks wanted the defensive center from their 2011 title team; the Knicks wanted depth, picks and a new point guard.

Why history remembers it

Chandler stabilized a 50-win Dallas team for one season, while the deal became another branch of New York's uneven transition from its 2013 playoff core.

What changed

The consequences

  • Dallas won 50 games in 2014–15.
  • The second-round selections became Cleanthony Early and Thanasis Antetokounmpo.
