I have a hard time believing the Mavs won't try to keep Chandler. Dirk only has so many years left and he took a massive pay cut last summer.
It would be a hell of a gamble. Renouncing 2 of your top 6, both under 30, for just a chance at a 33 year old 5 is crazy on the surface. If they miss, they are back in the lottery and Demps/Monty are fired. The wise move, unless something pops up, is to run it back.
I really dont think Asik is a problem. They score well enough with him. The defense is better and I still think it's more scheme than Asik. They need better perimeter play (health and a good buy w/ MLE) and Anderson to return to pre injury levels on both sides. They should always be looking at packages for a true 2nd banana, but a Chandler play feels a little reckless to me.

Crazy is a nice way to put it. Chandler isn't the player to put this team over the top. It all depends on the quality of 3 you can get, but I'm just not seeing one available who is good enough to make that move. We'd be back at having shite for outside shooting or depending on a fundamentally flawed player like Anderson to give you major minutes for spacing.

I'm sure they will, but the Mavs ceiling is right where they are, replace Asik with Chandler and the Pels are better than the Mavs.

It's definitely overblown on this board as in on most nights he's a net positive, but even on the nights he's a net positive he still typically leaves 4-8 gimme points on the table. In theory Chandler can do everything Asik does plus get those 4-8 gimme points which would in turn create more space for guys like Tyreke.
