This wasn't a drawn out or tense negotiation. Colorado saw a guy they wanted and happily paid the asking price.

See I would give Burke more credit for that. Colorado not even trying to negotiate with Burke either screams incompetency or a very high level of 'respect' for him
Every other team has had high asking prices for their rentals for weeks yet all of them took major hits yesterday. Burke getting what he initially asked for Berra is terrific.
