This checks out:
Mavs get: Kyrie
Nets get: THJ, J. Green -- Nets save cash and get a big TPE
Knicks get: S/T Brunson
Pistons get: Powell, 2nd rounders
How good of a source is the guy that reported the Mavs interest in Kyrie?

Hopefully he's the most make believe, sitting in his room above his Grandmother's garage, no source having internet troll ever.

He's Mark Cuban's brother and is married to Nico's sister.
Nets are going through the same thing that happened to them in 2013 when Billy King traded for Pierce, KG, and Jet, and how did that work out? History repeats itself.

That's what I'm hoping too

If we are allowed to use Brunson’s outgoing in a S&T, we only need about $17mm in outgoing. Otherwise, it takes $29mm to match.
Scary for sure. But what if it worked…
The match is even easier than that, perhaps.
Make Brunson-to-NY into a 3-way with DET, then add THJ going to DET. Then tie Kyrie-to-DAL into that deal, with DET sending player X to BKN (some player making enough salary to allow DET to take THJ from DAL). Maybe Burks is that player. Alternately, instead of THJ-to-DET, maybe they use SD-to-BKN as you suggest, or THJ-to-BKN.
Personally I'd prefer to keep SD. But other teams have their own valuations and needs, so ya never know.
Obviously there would be more details, but the matching framework is fairly easy when piggybacking off of what looks to already be in the works (ie some variation of DAL-NY-DET that ties together the known transactions).
In light of the chaos of the past year, I suspect Kyrie wouldn't be that expensive.
In a perfect world do I want Kyrie? Hell no.
But is a Kyrie on a one year deal on his best behavior to land a max deal with someone else next year better than losing JB for nothing?
I think yes.
Worst case -- he's a massive expiring deal that can be moved at the TDL.

Good stuff. They say we need to add a star next to Luka. Who would be cheaper than World B Flat on an expiring on a team he just imploded?

I feel like the worst case is Cuban seeing a chance for a "star" and it ends up involving a KI extension as part of the deal.
