close to the salary cap line that the added guaranteed salary spot would push them OVER the cap and in turn allow them to use the standard MLE ($9.246M) instead of the room MLE ($4.76M). In addition to getting the late first-rounder which honestly probably won't have that much impact this next year, they'd also be able to sign a higher-caliber FA as well. This is of course assuming they keep both Favors and Niang.
