During his second season with the Knicks, he was in the reserve of the Eastern Conference in the NBA All-Star Game in 2013 selected. In the home game against the Golden State Warriors in February 2013, he achieved a new career record with 28 rebounds.

For the 2014/15 season , Chandler, together with his teammate Raymond Felton , was transferred from the New York Knicks back to the Dallas Mavericks by trade . In return, Samuel Dalembert and Jose Calderon , among others, moved to New York.
