CHI carries $81.8M of tracked production (28th of 30) against $95.4M of true cost, netting −$13.6M of surplus (3rd of 30). That profile reads rebuilding: an overall C-grade roster (63/100) whose defining trait is cap flexibility (99/100).
Matas Buzelis is the surplus engine: −$0.5M on $4.4M, 1.1 marginal wins of production.
Josh Giddey is the drag: −$4.3M under water on $110M still owed over 4 years.
