This is my understanding of the situation as well. Unless the deal radically changes we will only have the room (which I have foolishly decided should be spent on Stanley Johnson).
Do Jazz get room exception or MLE?

Seems like another trade must be in the offing. Don’t see how we plug the holes and add necessary depth w/ just $4.7 mil and minimum contracts.
Problem being, I don’t really see what we have to trade that anyone would want other than Favors and Exum, and Xenu knows the FO aint parting ways with either of them.

The DN says we have 4.7 million to spend on free agents (it sounds like Favs is being kept.) My count is Gobert, Bradley, Favors, Niang, Conley, DM, Royce, Raul, JIngles. That leaves six roster spots and two two ways to fill. Sounds to me like a lot of minimum contracts are going to be filled out.
No, we cannot renounce them now (it's still last season effectively). We renounce their cap holds once FA starts up.
Isn’t July 6 being the date when trades and signing a player become official a league mandate/rule?
Trades can be done as soon as a team's season is over. The new season in some sense is considered to begin on Jul 1, or maybe on Jun 30. (I think salary cap is set on Jul 1, and free agent discussions/agreements can begin on Jun 30 now.) Free agents can't be officially signed until Jul 6, after the moratorium.
Oh nm to my questions. There is no way to get the full MLE if the deal goes through July 6th. We have to be over the soft cap by then to get the full MLE I believe.
Hence we must waive Favors.
I can see the advantages at this point to it. I still like Favors and am not sure we can get a player as good as him with the money. But we do need to fill in a few spots that we might be able to do with his money. But it depends how cheap some other players go for. If we can get a stretch 4 for really cheap then we dont need to. But if not we might be in trouble filling in the roster.

We all know that has about a 0.001% chance of happening.
