You aren't really missing anything, but the odds it gets to that is low because the belief is Melo will sign with the Nets when it comes down to it.
Both sides are posturing right now, but the question becomes if Melo is willing to risk not inking a new deal before the new CBA. There is a lot of rumor about cap lowering, salary scales, etc. Going into a new CBA without a contract is pretty terrifying.
