I see what you're saying, but maybe it's coming down to Melo saying he'll give the Lakers/Knicks/Bulls a chance to work out a trade with either team, because he really can't lose wherever he goes?
there is a 0% chance that a free agent would 1) just give up control over where he ultimately ends up and 2) put the team he's going to end up with in a s&t bidding war, therefore directly and unnecessarily depriving them of assets as he joins the roster
