I would at least try to get draft picks for him. He did say he thinks NYK is the favorite to sign him - but I bet that's at $30 million which will kill us.

..yeah, because he never had Dwayne Wade/Chris Bosh or Russell Westbrook/James Harden/Serge Ibaka on his team.

If he takes that kind of money from NY it tells me he is ok losing just to get a pay day.
He is entitled to the money but Lebron AND Wade took less to win. If Melo is unhappy with the way the team is constructed then he should learn about the cap and sacrifice lining his pockets to get a legit sidekick.
It won't happen though. He is either walking or staying with a max deal.
