Howard Beck Confirmed: Tyson Chandler will come to Knicks via sign/trade. Hearing that Andy Rautins will go to Mavs, who also get a trade exception.

Adding insult to injury, it sounds like Rautins will be automatically be waived by the Dallas Mavericks once the deal goes through. Rautins is a financial pawn in the overall deal. Bummer.
Sucks. Rautins spent the lockout doing what he could to remain financially-savvy and he might have to keep buckling down if he's not able to bounce back with another team. Hopefully that's not the case.
