I think you are right in that there almost has to be a 3rd team because GSW is so close to Apron 2. So, part of the Dallas return is what GSW would have received for Kuminga. So, the core of a Chicago based deal is AD to GSW, Green/White to Dallas and Kuminga to Chicago. The trick is who gets what as you fill it out from there. The guardrails you have to manage are keeping Chicago out of the tax and GSW under the second apron.
Anyway to do it without Green? Green is a pain to deal with and not the player he was. Although if Golden State plans to try to contend, I think you need Green. Him and Ad are not great fits due to shooting but if you surrounded them with shooting maybe it wouldn’t matter.
As far as the comment about White up, I agree. He would just be an interesting look at. The golden state picks would be the main attraction. No idea if that trade is doable or how willing GS would want to part with valuable future picks.
