Keep saying there is a need for Burke on the team, I dare you!
It's a decent point, I'll admit.
But, there IS a regular season to get through to qualify for the playoffs.
And, it's not crucial that the player in this role is Burke, specifically. It's just that Burke is here, already under contract (not a big contract) and whomever is in the role, they won't play very much if all goes according to plan. They know Burke gets that and accepts it with professionalism. That's not a guarantee with anyone else.
But, to state the obvious, there are others who could fill the role. They're just not on the roster yet. Ntilikina? Green? Brown? None of them qualify for this, specific job description.
