The big overseeing problem as I see it is that we're not the Warriors (and Wes isn't Iggy, plus his unfortunate injury). What are we exactly aiming for?
Undre Malone I could see what we were building towards and with who. I'm clueless right now.
If it's all for an improbable 8th seed in a desperate attempt to keep Boogie on board then we'll be right back where we are now within a couple of years.
I just don't see it.

However you've still got a top-10 player in the league on your roster, and you've got to pull out all stops to keep him. You'll never land another Boogie via trade or free agency, and the odds of drafting another comparable talent are long - just look at your last four drafts for evidence.
You can't afford to dwell on the Malone thing now - what's done is done. The only way to get respect back, within and without, is to win. Wes is not Iggy per se, but in terms of versatility and fit on the court and proven positive locker room influence, he's the closest thing for you. IMO, he's your guy.
It might seem like a classic Milwaukee strategy, but all your guys are young enough for you to have a stable team with the potential for growth for a while. This is decidedly not a Philly strategy, but it's not exactly Brooklyn either.
Believe me if we sign Rondo or Eliis or even both I can see the talent that is obvious to blind freddy but it would be an absolute mess with no long term direction. And as a fan of Sacramento the overriding thing that was needed was direction. Being aggressive is one thing but this just looks like a mistake.
If you sign Wes for 4/5 years and Rondo on a short term deal, then it's salvage-able. I still don't get the Rondo fascination - Collison seems a much better fit for your personnel - but if it's a short term deal, at least you're not chained to him. Plus you still have an alternative in Collison on the roster.
