I think there are some assumptions there. Don't know what kind of offers DJJ is going to get, or how loyal he will be regardless of role. I'm not sure that starting is that important to him as long as he gets consistent minutes here (a statement he explicitly made earlier this season).
There is also a good chance that Timmy + first doesn't get Caruso. So would you do Green + first for Caruso and spend a second or two to dump Timmy so we have plenty of room to get DJJ?
