DeAndre + Sanders = Thaddeus Young + Rondo?
Yahoo 9-cat 14-team H2H... what do you guys think? I am already punting FT%
my current team:
Curry
Sanders
Josh Smith
Teague
Valanciunas
Amir Johnson
Jameer Nelson
Jordan Crawford
Arron Afflalo
Mario Chalmers
DeAndre Jordan
Alec Burks
Vitor Faverini
So far this week my team is either leading the league or near the top in AST, STL, BLK, 3PT, PTS, and FG%. We are decent in REB. We are punting TO (worst in the league) and FT%.
In my opinion, Young is really good for a punt FT% team, but Sanders and DJ are both huge question marks. Do you guys think Sanders will get better? Do you guys think DJ will continue producing at his level?
I wanna hear others' opinions on this trade!

If you're going to sell Sanders at his absolute lowest, you're going to make some other owner very happy this season.
Even at Sander's performance last season, do you think he + DJ will return greater value than Rondo and Young? My assists and steals will go up sixfold, but I'll lose around 16 blocks a week. Also, do you think Sanders will return to last year's stats? And do you think DJ will continue getting his minutes?
According to many analysts and BasketballMonster.com, Sanders was a high second round pick at worst. Having the league's leading shot blocker is huge in fantasy, and much harder to come by than assists or steals. DJ is also likely to improve (outside of FT%) with the "big 3" effort the clips have started.
With all that said, both Sanders and DJ could flop in their roles this season (just as almost anyone without a long track record could), I just personally wouldn't bet on it.
