How come players like MELO declined to resign and end up stayin the team at the end?

I don't get it, when it says they declined, it means they don't want to resign and be on the FA list, but when I go to the FA list, they are gone, MELO declined everytime I sim the first year, but he ends up with the Nuggests at the end, is there something I can do that makes him go on the FA and then sign up with my team?

Interesting. He probably wants a long-term deal with Denver, so he declines his one year player option and signs a long-term deal.

Oh so is a negotation between the two of them, but is it possible for a third party like my team to get involved right after he declined the deal so he can see my offer too?

Just go make an offer to him on day 1 of free agency.

Denver has the first chance to resign him.

IF you have the CAP room for a max contract. Offer a player option and a No Trade Clause and they always sign with your team.

It's funny because in most of my associations he ends up signing with the Nets, King or Pacers...

The problem is, he doesn't even show up on the FA list, I checked he will decline the contract offer from Denver before going into off-season, he basically declined the contract, and then sign a deal with Denver, and never appear on the first day of FA list...and I am using 2k rosters, don't know if that has to do with anything~
