I think in the case of Burke it is not an overrating. Maybe he was hot with shooting, but what he brought in the bubble are things that theoretically shouldn't go away:
Aggression
Fearlessness
Energy
Activity
When the Mavs needed those four things the MOST in critical playoff moments, BURKE stepped up. It was incredible. $3M per year is a small price to pay for having those qualities on your bench in a pinch.
