Green to Washington for #26 as outlined. THJ/Maxi/#26/2025 for Grant/#34/#40. DJJ doesn’t quite get the full NT MLE here, but I don’t have my spreadsheet to plug in the numbers.
This is not the answer if you want DJJ and think the smaller end of the scale for his salary (the scale being from 5.2M to 12.9M) is insufficient (and isn't that the point of the Green trade?).
You only can pay DJJ somewhere in 8 - 8.5M range with the above moves.
The idea of using Green to clear space OR to be a trade chip has been well discussed here, and probably will continue to be. But we have to factor in that THJ is gone for sure, so if Green is outgoing, then it's both THJ and Green outgoing, and in the big scheme of things, it doesn't matter which you do 1st (THJ or Green) or which one yields a player and which one yields room -- either way you end up with the ability to sign DJJ and add another player with a salary total between the 2 of about 28.6M.
In the above, adding Maxi to the outgoing only nets another 9M (11M salary, but you have to refill that slot at 2M cost). Grant's salary is right at 30M.
