It's all very simple. His salary was to be $3.7M and his bonuses brought it up to a total of $4.1M in yearly cash. Just open and read the link, the numbers from sources that track this sort of thing don't lie.

---3.7 mil base
---666k signing bonus (shout at the devil)
---200k roster bonus
---200k workout bonus
Signing bonus stays on books, and is dead money. The rest is cleared.

Gio had a $4.7m cap hit in 2021, and that is right there in your link. This is what Luvnit is trying to say.
Dear Everyone,
Doing more research on it, you guys are 100% right. The website I used to look at the contract details had incorrectly prorated a bonus and added it onto the last year of the deal.
