Hopefully Hitchens gets his act together and gives us the player that was very good for Dallas.

eh?
The first two didn't happen on Veach's watch.
And hell, the Grubbs trade just didn't matter - cost us a 5th, who cares? Guy got hurt, Allen/Fulton picked up the slack and we ended up back where we started, down a 5th round pick.
If Grubbs is the worst move a team makes in any given YEAR, that team's had a good year. That thing damn sure doesn't deserve to be on any 'worst of' lists.
Robinson was a bit of a yikes, I'll grant you. But even he was a veteran free agent who ended up costing less than $5 million. Would you rather NOT pay that to see a guy get roasted alive in the playoffs by TY Hilton? Yes, yes you would. But that was just a product of a damn thin roster. Pioli left the cupboard pretty bare in terms of depth in the secondary.
Pretty defensible decision w/ little long-term damage done to the roster. The issue was that he was needed in the first place and that wasn't an issue of Dorsey/Reid's doing.
