Personally, I think the Hamilton trade is a little overstated. A good trade, but not the fleecing most people think it is.

I don't see Hamilton as a future Norris winner or a captain. Nor do I see him as the type of player that carries a team on his shoulders. He's a good 2-4 guys though and I am happy to have him. He is the type of player you would hope to draft in the first half of the 1st round, so giving up a 15th was decent considering he was already proven. Adding two 2nd rounders evened it out more. A good deal, but not a career maker IMO like some people consider it.

I think who he hires as coach will be very important and will make or break him over the next couple of seasons.
