For sure, at least arguments could have been made at the time for the others mentioned. The Solo signing was a head scratcher pretty much immediately. He got paid based on playing well defensively for one playoff series vs Lebron. Sure, we desperately needed a 3 and D wing; but Solo could never shoot threes with any sort of consistency.

The Omer signing looked a lot worse when we fired Monty and hired a guy who wanted to run constantly

Tyreke Evans.
The sign and trade we did to acquire him killed the AD era.
Tyreke wasn’t an awful player, but it was an awful allocation of resources for a small market play, and was the absolutely wrong player to pair with AD and Jrue.
His contract wasn't really terrible, though. I do think it was one of the worst suites of trades/signings I can imagine. Nothing about it made sense from a roster balance standpoint. That was also the move that led to Omer Asik.

Omer played hard, though.

Our big rotation was AD, Asik and Alexis Ajinca.
We went through starting lineups with point guards like Nate Robinson, Isaiah Thomas, jammer Nelson, etc every other game.
Also our only solid wings were half a year of pondexter and half a year of Niko.
I wouldn’t mind forgetting the entirety of the AD era
Honorable mention: Jordan Crawford

Emeka
Giving up Tyson and replacing him with Okafor...
We had CP3 in his prime, we had West putting up 20/10 a night and we gave up in one blow the auto alley oop and our paint D
Pejas health took us out of contention conversation but that one move cost us relevance and the ability to replace his shooting which seems a lot more manageable than an entirely broken roster

Niko or Nico? I liked both of them, but Nico seemed more of a wing from my hazy memory.

Nikola Mirotic. He was essentially a wing for us the second half of that season. Dude went on a tear from deep for a bit there.
I believe Bobby Portis laid his arse out earlier in the year so we got him for a couple seconds or something. Niko was a good deal
