That's because it usually doesn't make sense, especially in the cap world. Teams are mostly up against the cap or have internal budgets. If Burke was telling the truth about being willing to retain salary to maximize value then it is a big bargaining chip. Not counting on it but it would vastly increase his value on the trade market.
