I think if the Mavs fail to re-sign Chandler they either strike a bold move through trade or they put a stop-gap solution in place while putting themselves in a position to be major players in free agency next off season (Deron Williams).

I don't think there's any way they'd commit a multi-year deal to someone like Dalembert.

That's possible. I've noticed myself giving into repeat greed and forgetting about next year's free agent crop. In the grand scheme of things, I don't think Daly for four years at MLE levels would be a bad investment for a team in need of a center. But if Dallas is thinking that they either want to re-sign TC or start prepping to make a hard push for Deron/Dwight, then the thought of giving a multi-year deal to anybody other than JJB is probably far from their minds.
