how exactly would that put pressure on those teams? If he's claimed, the proposed trades are off the table anyway. If he isn't, the interested teams can say "see, nobody even wants him for free". This doesn't put Lombardi in the drivers seat, it's merely a hail mary on his part because he obviously doesn't like the trades that were offered.
