Melo’s a tough one given Jokic has his number. His Knicks career isn’t really retirement.

Kyrie also. Cleveland is the only place that would potentially retire it but the way he left that team may have soured it on happening.

Easy. Rookie deals are 3 years, max rookie extension is another 2 or 3. Then they are qualified for a 5 years max deal, once they have that, they can then walk anywhere they want for max deals. You get a cakewalk to easy money staying with your drafted team for 8-10yrs then you can walk and make the money anywhere.
