- the team will get a reputation of overvaluing players and get less calls/offers.
I just theorized and threw those out there, just like Burke did to cover his butt. They are just as likely. Hey the sky isn't falling or anything, it's a 3rd/4th rounf pick, just a lot of people see through the everything I do has a reason narrative. Some good deals but he dropped the ball here. Assets > Sticking to your guns

So you honestly believe that in life, being a pushover will not ever lead to people taking advantage of you?
How do you know it was even a 3rd or 4th round pick?
People on the anti side of this argument keep on bringing up 3rd round picks like it was a given, were you there? You don't know the offers, but the bottom line was that they weren't good enough. Or maybe they were, and the other side didn't pull the trigger fast enough. You don't know why he didn't get traded, so stop pretending like you do. Burke didn't immediately take whatever lowball offer was presented, and in the end, the negotiating rights to Cammalleri were worth more than whatever was being offered. It's pretty simple and basic, but apparently the crowd against it needs to make things up in order to have a problem with it.
