That figure you're referring to, the $20 million under or whatever it was, assumed we made every possible cap-saving move under the sun. This revised version you're seeing here shows only the moves the team is likely, or at least reported by JLC as likely to make.
For example, the version that showed $20 million meant we'd do things like cut Phillip Daniels and Shawn Springs, plus keep Brandon Lloyd. Those three moves alone would take us from the $11.5 million listed here to very close to the $20 million you're referring to.
So basically, I'm listing the $11.5 because they are moves the team seems likely to make, but the section at the very bottom lists other ways to cut money which would take us closer to the $20.0. In the end, the numbers are the same, it's just a different perspective.
