Rondo for W.Chandler & C Butler

[nkjordan23]

I am in a 14 team rotisserie keeper league and have sometime come to the conclusion that I probably wont win it this year. Because of this, I have decided to start trading for young talent to round up my 8 keepers for the year. I received the Rondo side of the deal here and probably will pick up a rookie FA to hold for next season. I know Chandler has a lot of upside, but I feel Butler is slowly going to decline and wear down.

My team post-trade:

Nash*
Rondo*
T Evans*
Udrih
Watson
J-Rich
Gallanari*
Brewer
Granger*
P Gasol*
Okafor*
Noah*
Odom

Did I make a solid deal?

I like Rondo for a keeper league. He's already posting solid all around stats this year (except for FT% and lack of 3's) and will get better over time. With Nash and Kidd aging, Rondo will be one of the few PG averaging 9+ assists (C Paul and D Will also --- the younger generation of PG seem more like hybrids rather than pure PG i.e. Rose, Evans, Curry, Flynn).

I think Butler will improve from what he has done so far this year but he's on the older side (by NBA standards) so might be past his prime. Chandler has a lot of upside but I'm not convinced he's going to be a star --- I could see him posting Luol Deng-like numbers at his peak (very good, but not amazing).

Keep Rondo, Chandler wont really improve and Butler is solid. But who ever you'll be dropping is going to be more valuable then Chandler.
