legal move or not?

So the point is that if a player has not yet established a pivot (either by landing or jumping with both feet simultaneously), then nothing which you have posted applies.

Not so....the phrase above was under the section covering both feet being on the floor when the ball is caught. In such a case, a jump stop is not an option. Thus, the lifting of a foot establishes a pivot.
