Is there a number at which Kuminga goes to Chicago, PJ goes to GSW and Coby White comes to Dallas.  Something like $20mm keeps the Chicago part of this within the $7.5mm rule.  Dallas drops about $1.2mm further below the second apron.

GSW just needs too many bodies to reserve the Full MLE while taking back someone like PJ.  I've seen speculation that Horford would take the smaller MLE and Melton would take a minimum.  So, that part works.  I could easily see PJ being someone the Warriors would be interested in.

I'm thinking maybe GS target is a deal where they get a pick, not a player (who brings salary).

If your numbers are right on Horford and Melton, maybe GS's target is landing under tax line, not A1.
