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.
A couple of ways in which it might matter….thus my reason for exploring it further.
Green is slightly easier to move in June which would allow you to deal with Jones immediately. I don’t trade Green for air and I don’t do it at all unless I’ve got the second deal (THJ for improvement) lined up already or I’m executing it simultaneously.
THJ outgoing gets you a higher paid player in a < 100% trade match.
