All your this-and-that still doesn't erase the math that says FACTUALLY - if they literally cleared out the entire roster other than those two - they won't have enough cap room.
Why do you assume LaVine would sign for max only, if LA is his prefered destination? Isn't it possible he leaves a couple of million on the table? But better yet - it is just good enough to create a threat to Chicago that LaVine can leave for nothing. Making them play along more willingly.
