1. DJJ will not command more than the MLE.
2. Given his career earnings he cannot accept any deals that are less than 24/3 either.
3. In his position his total matters more than his annual salary!
4. Whether such a trade is easily accomplished largely depends on the possibly heightened value of (semi) expiring contracts under the new CBA.
5. For example Bertans for THJ+Powell creates 15M in capspace after Bertans is waived. Question is how much do you have to pay for that: a couple 2nds, Hardy, O-Max, a protected 1st, an unprotected 1st?
6. Simons for THJ + Green + Powell opens an additional $6.9M, which might get you in range of DJJ 24/3. The good thing is that you can work with DJJ on these things before any trade.
My guess is that they´d like to keep most of the team together, but a deal involving Green might be easier to pull off. So this might partially come down to how much they value DJJ vs. Green.
