You can absolutely make the argument the Hamilton trade was a bad one merely from the fact that management felt the need to move him out due to a number of alleged issues before his deal ran out.
Trades usually can't be judged in their immediacy. If its bad, it takes time to play out that way. Hamilton was thought to be a great deal when it occurred. A coup. Looking back, how can his time be looked upon as anything but a disappointment?
Edit: Holy crap I used a word that Textcritic just used. And I think I used it correctly. Thats a win.
