It's exactly the opposite, it was leaked so that other gm's know they'll have to overpay which will theoretically depress the market.
I think both of you are correct. OKC did this with the intention of trying to keep teams from overpaying... but they know full well what their limit is for Andre. If a team offers more than $12M/year, OKC will make the right decision and let him walk. Someone who is THAT bad at offense cannot take up more than 10-12% of your cap without becoming a problem financially.
Defense is very important, but if you literally can't make free throws as a guard, you're unplayable offensively in key situations which diminishes your value drastically.
