Trade Analysis
The exchange produced a decisive long-term loss for Dallas. Chandler won Defensive Player of the Year 2012 in New York after anchoring Dallas 2011 title. Rautins never played. Exception used on Lamar Odom who failed. Choosing cap space over DPOY center ended contention window. The central comparison is Andy Rautins against Tyson Chandler, with the remaining picks, rights, cash and contract consequences shaping the final margin.
