I will say that I think the worst coach in the history of the NBA, Jason Kidd, had a lot to do with some of those moves.
Jason Kidd, and he being the pick of the owners didn't help Hammond much.
Parker was a good pick, it's not like he came in with chronic knee injuries. Giannis, Brodgdan, Maker, trade for Middleton. I thought Hammond did a pretty decent job at setting this team up.
Signed Delly when they needed a pack up point (before Brogdan). Teletovic was the outside shooter we needed. Picked up MCW for Kidd, then was able to get Snell for him.

Overall I think Hammond did a good job (mostly because I think Kidd and the owners meddled more than Kohl).
