FA: Trey Burke to DAL | 3 yrs, $10M

[KillerLeft]

In Burkes case I saw no rumors linking him to any other team. That obviously does not mean that other teams were not interested but him signing the contract early suggests that he did not have a lot of options. Not really sure about Hollingers numbers. Looking at this years contracts he was off by a lot more often than not.
In a league where Dunn gets 2/10 and Augustin gets 3/21 Burke wouldn´t settle for 3/10 if he had better options. I guess in a way Burkes contract is a steal because I easily prefer him over the two mentioned guys. On the other hand I also think that he really had no other option. I don´t think any other team ranks him as high as the Mavs.
We are focusing on the one good month. The rest of the league probably evaluates him based on the 6 years and 11 month long career he had prior to the bubble.

I think Powell is a good comparisation. Just like Burke he had value for the Mavs but no other team would have given him a 3/33 deal. Burke is one of many undersized scoring guards. Most teams like the ones that they have. I think Burke is better than most of them but that´s not the point. Offers from other teams dictate the price.
