I loved the guy and his victory over his personal demons. Yet I don't want him back. Burke's comments are in line with what I felt about him. He is a elite player in spurts when motivated, and is prone to checking out.
It would cost too much, be a massive risk that he would stay motivated, and possibly hinder the team dynamics (having a guy checked out and no one can get through would be a distraction for sure).
I hope he cashes in a massive contract and is set for life, but somewhere else. Just not worth the risk given where we are.
