That's odd. That seems like a ton for Stone but on the trade deadline show, Burke said he spoke to BT the night before the deadline and they expected the deal to go through...before it surprisingly fell apart and BT was likely out.
I wonder if Vegas upped the ask to this after BT agreed to a smaller package (like 3 of the 4 pieces mentioned)? Or was he fine with the package but Stone's contract demands scared him off, once he had a chance to chat with the agent? I suppose more likely, Burke is just lying/wrong about some of the facts. Still interesting...
