Expecting otherwise would be crazy.
Good example of that was the Stone commentary. Clearly that wasn't a Burke deal or player, but Burke didn't veto Tree making a move for a player he wasn't sold on because Tree was. Doesn't mean he might not veto something else though.

The days of a lone GM sitting in his office, doing deals by himself are long gone.

Hey, I'm not saying its a bad thing but every time anyone mentions Burke having influence on this team it get shot down with a comment that this it Trelivings team not Burkes.
