I've said it before, the Lazar and Hamonic trades were not crippling, but they were huge red flags about his approach to valuing his own picks and opposition players.
It's a major concern when your GM will go balls out for a guy like Hamonic and be willing to lose, but not up for making a move to shake up the core after attempt number 4 of finding a way to make them better than they are.

Heck, if those moves aren't there in the current climate, you can at least bring in one of the many top 6 calibre UFAs that were available for months and find a way to clear the cap space to do so. At the very least you give the lineup a shot in the arm and provide your inexperienced coach something new and useful to work with.
