Melo could've signed with the Knicks outright in 2011, but essentially forced a trade out of Denver to the Knicks. He wanted to sign an extension immediately with the Knicks because he was afraid the CBA would cost him money - which was only a couple million. The Knicks traded away half of their team as a result and they're still digging their way out to this day, all because Melo was worried about that lost $2-3 million or so. Nobody held the Knicks against their will of course, but they had to in a lot of ways if they didn't want MSG to be a pile of dust.

honestly, the trade looked terrible at the time, but it's really not that egregious nowadays. gallo has been hurt every year, wilson chandler is a solid role player, fatboy felton we got back. the biggest issue were the draft picks and losing mozgod. but still, melo should've waited n signed outright.
 
Financially it makes a lot of sense for Love. Opt in, then the cap rises again, and he's gonna break the bank. Especially coming off an injury.
