If a below average defender could improve our defense by 10 points per game, that would be quite a magic trick! Again, these are completely unrealistic expectations for Rondo. Here's what Rondo gets you:
-1.5 rebounds per game over an average PG
-The ability to create an OK possession with the ball in his hands
-Semi-competent NBA defense.
That's it. He also makes it impossible to get elite offense unless surrounded by 4 shooters (not 3, 4, so it won't work with Chandler out there), and the things that he does get you are easier to replace than 20 minutes of the best finishing ability and shot-blocking you'll find on an NBA bench.
