They can deal with DJJ space in a separate deal
Yes, just piggybacking LAC-GS-DAL onto the THJ-to-DET deal, and sending either of Green or Maxi to LAC, but not both, is one solution to the LAC-GS-DAL trade (although there will be a LOT of extra minor parts added to that deal, if it becomes a 4-way, because of the NBA's so-called "touch rule").
My premise is that the Mavs will sign DJJ, so the end result is likely to still have both Green and Maxi outgoing. I need to note that I can't get to a way to keep either one of Green or Maxi in this Klay scenario, and also re-sign DJJ. This Hard Cap World is a real limiter on salary once you get past a certain point.
Edited to Add -- If GS is headed this direction, they likely waive CP3 and send Wiggins to LAC. That assumes that's acceptable to LAC. A different scenario is that they send CP3 to LAC (in which case DAL definitely can't send both Maxi and Green to LAC), but that necessitates Wiggins being swapped for air, but not sure that deal is easily doable.
