Pretty par for the course for the work place. I bet some players didn't like Feaster, and I bet tones didn't like D.Sutter. Burke's role isn't to "be liked" by the players, it's to assemble a winning team long term. He's the man that trades and signs them or chooses not to......probably best he's not their best bud. And to be honest, I'm pretty comfortable shipping out folks who don't want to be here cause Burke makes them uncomfy.....players who can manage the demands and situations Burke throws at the seems like folks that have the ability to rise above. Those are the kind of players I want playing for this team in game 7s a few years from now when we are back in the playoffs, not guys who'd rather be coddled, I have far less confidence in guys like that when the going gets tough and it's all on the line.

I agree in general (though I'm still not entirely sure what purpose his negativity serves other than to justify his decision to fire Feaster), but I wouldn't mind if he were a little more positive about our college guys who have the ability to go somewhere else when they graduate if they think the organization isn't all that high on them.
