However, if you focus making a deal with Lowry while other teams are focusing on trying to sign Carmelo, you may be able to avoid other teams offering an overpay that Ujiri is unwilling match (again this is assuming that Lowry like Toronto, but doesn't want to leave money on the table). As you correctly pointed out IF Lowry just wants to sign with another team, it doesn't matter what we offer.
I'm just thinking that most teams would rather throw money at Melo then Lowry so if you can lock him up before Melo (if Melo opts out) signs a deal you may be able to save a million or so, because teams that strike out on Melo might be willing to overpay so that they don't come up empty in free agency.
In agreement about being creative with the structure of a Lowry deal.
