I've now had a chance to look at the numbers, and LA has more room than stated. So far, they are at ~190M with 13 players. Min is 2.3M per slot, and A1 is 195.9.
PLAN 1 - room for 2 more players (14 and 15).
VS
PLAN 2 - BAE is 5.134, so they have room to spend BAE on player 14 (leave 15 empty)
VARIABLE 1 - Milton is NG and can be waived, but his salary is 3M and empty slot is 2.3 so room gained is only 0.7M. Same basic choices result, with a diff minimum salary player able to be added.
VARIABLE 2 - SRP #36 is signed to 15-man (ie, not 2-way) and fills a slot. But likely no change to choices, as he's likely to get SRP exception money so LA can offer 3+ years, which (likely) bumps 1st year salary to close to regular minimum of 2.3M range.
CONCLUSION - LA can have 15 man roster, or a BAE player, but not both.
