It is a weird miss. Especially considering the team he signed with and their current logjam at guard. I have trouble seeing 20-25 minutes for him in Chicago. I thought he was a good fit here due to his familiarity with Luka. I do believe there are similar rated players out there to him at his stage of his career.
I hope this wasn't another Mavs blunder. Hopefully they were brutally honest with him. In that they told him his role was going to be limited. He would get a lot of minutes in case of injury or foul trouble to Luka or Din. Otherwise, Green and Frank would get developmental minutes early in the season. We all agree they will eventually need at least one more creator, but maybe they are looking for a Burke role to start the season and then look for a bigger move when bad teams prove to be bad and players are more available. Who knows though.
