Maybe you flip Kleber + Curry for Fournier + two 2nd round picks. Then flip THJ for WCJ + Houstan. Finally you combine Holmes + Houstan + four 2nd round picks for Washington.
You end up with
Doncic/Exum/Hardy
Irving/Green
DJJ/Fournier
Washington/Williams/Omax
Lively/WCJ/Powell
Added two players U26, improved the cap structure with the Fournier expiring and the modest contracts of Washington/WCJ at a total cost of two 2nd round picks.
I think all these deals are reasonable. That´s the benefit of buying low.
Maxi is a negative contract right now, Curry is neutral at best and Fournier is expiring. Why would they pay 2 seconds for that deal? I also doubt a bunch of seconds are enough for Hornets to take on bad contract and give up PJ.
