Other GM's had harsh things to say about other guys not just Ryan. The Bufuglien comments probably didn't make him feel great.

As a GM in the league (before a team usa exec), i think there is some value in having a level of respect from the players. His comments, especially subjective/personal jabs at a player, should have been done behind closed doors with the team USA decision makers, that's what his role is.
His comments, which basically were just insulting a player almost personally, serve absolutely no purpose whatsoever.
