I'm starting to feel bad for Feaster watching the Heat be one of the best teams in the league and seeing his guys do well and get locked up.

Sure, I know, O'Brien, Jones, Galiardi have been busts... I didn't say he was perfect, but he did a good job adding pieces in his tenure.
Feaster made some good moves for sure. His downfall was that he had no plan. Ever. And what little plans he did have, he changed frequently. He had no idea how to build a hockey team. Love or hate Burke's approach, he knows exactly what he wants and has an unwavering approach to ensure that vision is realized.

It isn't about individual moves, it's about how they all come together to work conceptually. Or not in Feaster's case.
