Yes, i would be upset. These moves may help us out in the future, but the don't make us any better right now. They may even make us worse. I'm not even sure how we're going to develop everyone b/c with the current roster, there's simply not enough minutes for everyone. This draft to me signals a sign of defeat, as in, there is no hope in the current roster, and we best look towards the future.

Speaking of Kings, source said their free agent Rajon Rondo is open to staying but also had interest in Knicks & Nets. Rose to NY kills that
No. But you have to let some of these draft picks develop right? There's essentially a logjam in the frontcourt and how is this Papa guy going to develop?
Some of them aren't coming yet and D league. None of the players in the draft (not just the ones we took) stuck me as someone who can come in and immediately help us.

Probably but what can we possibly expect to get for them? There is a big hole at PG if we want to take a step at making the playoffs....we going to fill that by trading Koufos for a journeyman PG? Maybe Conley is coming to Sac.

I think Murray would have been the backup to the FA we sign. With DC in trouble, Murray could have been a guy to develop for the future. Looks like the Spurs got him.
So instead of trading Boogie, which we aren't, maybe the Kings are going to deal WCS. You have to deal something good to get something good. Just a thought. What kind of PG could we obtain by trading WCS? Just spitballing here.

Fans have been playing the what if game for so long. Every time we make a head scratching move we say "yeah but what if we have a big trade lined up" or "what if a top free agent is coming here". Spoiler alert-it doesn't happen. The one "big" free agent we've been attached to is Ryan Anderson, who plays the same position as all the bigs we just drafted. We'd still have to find a starting pg (possibly a backup one depending on what happens with Collison), at least a starting SG (reserve depending on how comfortable we are with Ben and Richardson as backups). So basically an entire backcourt and the bigs taking up space on the bench aren't ready to play.
Yeah... this just means we're going after a PG in FA or in a trade. Looks like we're stockpiling young talent and looking for vets to come in and start. The thing we should have been doing for the past 3 seasons.
WCS has been front and center representing the franchise in early summer stuff like logo reveals, China visist, jersey reveal. Don't think he is going anywhere.

If the Kings dealt WCS today, they would get KILLED on this forum, as they should. Sure I say that without knowing who they would get back, but man, you don't trade WCS. Trill has played great when given a chance and I feel like he's only barely scratched his potential. You don't give up on those players early. He could be special.
Sure wish someone had made a separate thread for the actual draft discussion. Oh well...I didn't need to read some 900+ comments anyway. I'll wait for the condensed version.
