If the team is planning on a fire sale, you keep cap space open to weaponize the cap space

If the team is planning to try for the play-offs still, you keep cap space open so you can add if the opportunity arises.

The return may not be what people wanted, but it's a UFA player who has said "I want out." Everyone knows the player is getting dealt. You get what you get.
