I traded Wade... Was I ripped off?

My roster:

Joe Johnson
Kevin Martin
Ronnie Brewer
Corey Maggette
Chris Bosh
Rudy Gay
Chris Kaman
Dwayne Wade
Antonio Daniels
Rashad McCants
Rafer Alston
Jermaine O'Neal
Jamaal Tinsley

I traded Dwayne Wade for Tyson Chandler. Why I did it: My worst cat. is rebounds. I couldn't acquire David West or Dwight Howard. I tried to get Josh Howard, Michael Redd, and a slew of other players, but no one wanted Wade. I finally traded Wade for Chandler. I did this move solely because of the Wade injury risk. Was I completely ripped off?

Side note: I drafted Gilbert Arenas as the fourth pick overall. I then traded Arenas and West for Bosh and Joe Johnson.

Jefferson and Jamison were not available. I basically made the best of a very bad situation.

Chandler's numbers tonight:

7-9, 14 Pts
21 Rebs

Maybe I wasn't completely ripped off.

Hmmm im trying to trade Wade as well but im trying for someone like Jefferson, Gasol maybe even Pierce but I really dont want to just give him away.
Chandlers numbers today will make it a bit easier for you though.

I would have tried getting a bit more for Wade. If you couldn't get a top 15 talent I would have tried handcuffing Tinsley to Wade for two better than average players. Say a big like Chandler and someone like Tony Parker or Andre Miller.

I would have offered a one for 2 and just dropped someone.

hold on to Wade. He's going to pick it up for the rest of the season as Miami tries to make a run for the playoffs.
