If they can move Green for a pick, I'd be pretty happy to package that pick with THJ+Kleber+25 for Cam Johnson. I think he makes more sense than Grant as he would be willing to come off the bench and his contract doesn't hamstring you to the same degree.

Kyrie/Hardy
DJJ/Exum
Luka/Omax
PJ/Cam
Lively/Gafford

If you can re-sign Jones, which you have suggested here, I am all for a Cam Johnson addition. I don’t think he is as good of a player as Grant now, and in fact, I don’t think he is even a good defender, really, but he is much closer to the timeline we are all excited about with the team, and he can shoot. If you can do all of what you accomplished in that post and convince him to come off the bench, you really got something. Heck, you could even start him, probably.

Just really need to keep an option to play those two defensive forwards the way they did this year.

My pining after Grant is really more about an eventuality where Jones is not back, however we think that might happen. Until Dan‘s post a second ago about using Green, I had never imagined both Grant and Jones on the team at the same time, and while that would be amazing, if Jones is back, I think I’d rather go younger like this idea.
