Of course they do? Honestly, he's Treliving's boss, how many peoples bosses have the ability to veto something their employees might do? Doesn't mean Tree has to run everything by him, or that Tree even chooses to tell him everything, but I doubt something as big as even a minor trade doesn't get pushed up to Burke as an FYI before the trigger gets pulled. Expecting otherwise would be crazy.

Good example of that was the Stone commentary. Clearly that wasn't a Burke deal or player, but Burke didn't veto Tree making a move for a player he wasn't sold on because Tree was. Doesn't mean he might not veto something else though.
