So its starting to look like Masai will have to pick between DD and JV.
Why do you guys think he'll pick JV? Instead of the guy who spent last night hanging out with Durant.
The key will be having DD and Jonas at their reasonable cap-holds, and clearing space elsewhere, so we have room to sign Durant and then sign everyone - playing well above the cap. KD will only come aboard if we show we are willing to spend where OKC has not.

Because JV is more talented?
It's pretty simple, Jonas is and will be more valuable than DeMar in this league, and I'm speaking as someone who doesn't feel the need to boot out DeMar.
If we can fit the both of them in and go for Horford/Durant, you do that. But that means one or both of them have to take less than the max. If both demand the max, then you choose Jonas and then go for Horford/Durant.
EDIT: If MLSE is willing, you can also sign both at the max (DeMar is not worth the max though) and have Masai yell "FUCK THE TAX" from the top of the CN Tower as Horford/Durant sign.

If DeRozan/JV are getting in the way of signing KD and he legitimately wants to come here... obviously you let DD walk lol. That's not even a question.
But you don't trade him in ANTICIPATION of that, that would be stupid because there's so little chance of us actually getting KD.

I'm a big DD fan, but I think it is quite obvious that JV has more talent than DD. Not really a knock on DD at all tbh, I think Jonas can be a top 5 center. DD is actually top 5 at SG also imo, but that's an easier position to be top 5 at as it's probably the weakest position in the league.
JV is the better (more valuable) asset. How about that?
That may or may not be true. Even if it was true, I think Masai lets someone else pay him 20+ million.
Why pay 20+ million for someone who sits most 4th quarters?
We've all seen that small ball takes JV out the game and he's not offensively dominant enough to punish teams that go small.
That being said, hopefully JV comes into the season a little quicker and trusts his shot more (he needs to take and make more 10-15 footers).... If so, he will get that max contract.

DD is not a top 5 SG. He is below average defensively and isn't a good 3 point shooter.
