This is a strategy for trying to get a RFA away from another team, by minimizing (to the smallest amount possible) their time to figure out if they have a good way to keep you from doing it.
Yes you want them to barely have any time, but if they match they can't trade him anyhow (he gets a no-trade), so there's that.
With MLE money?
Come on, NBA teams had months to prepare for the number they will match. Heck even if it was 6 hours teams won't be surprised by any offer we make.
Boston already knows if they match or not our MLE offer, or anyone for that matter.
