Agree that Harris only makes sense as a target if you can also keep DJJ, but, and this is shocking, I think I might value Green more than you do, because I wouldn't do that. I don't think that's a better team at all. Leaves you with only one perimeter defender in DJJ. PJ can guard wings, and there are a ton of big ones now, as we all know, but feels unwise to leave yourself without a bench player who can run with guys like SGA, Brunson, Donovan Mitchell, etc.
Not that I think Green is ideal in that role, exactly, but he's got the right athletic profile for it and he's only 23. I think the team you'd be left with in this scenario is far, far too slow.
