Twitter knew about Melo’s decision, the Knicks did and still do not.
According to Ken Berger from CBSSports.com though, the Knicks have not been made aware of any plans from Melo, whether that be re-signing with the team or signing elsewhere. He does point out that New York isn’t any less confident in their chances he’ll re-sign but they just haven’t received official word yet meaning this is all just another NBA rumor.
