Would Melo have had a better future as a Net?

Because Lopez makes less than Amare, Nets would have had money even if they had traded for Melo to sign a legit swing man like Wilson Chandler, resign Kris Humphries, and easily sign D. Will or Chris Paul in 2012. However, Melo made a bad move by going to NYK even though him and Amare will be making 39 mil as a group in 2012.
