There doesn’t seem to be any business case to bring the 787 to Delta, especially with the training flexibility Delta has between the 320/330/350 families. Not to mention Mx, overhead, etc, etc.
I think that United order has effectively been canceled. But Delta specifically wants the 787-10 and United wants all 500 (sarcasm) 787s it ordered so I don't think any kind of trade is plausible. I also don't think DL would ever have made the order with Boeing if they saw no benefit, especially if we can't even get the first one until 2031.
