It's the "Mullet" starting lineup: "Business (D) in the frontcourt. Party (O) in the backcourt"
This deal does work legally before Kyrie extends, but after it does not. So timing matters here.
I am not sure why Memphis would give up Morant for some spare parts. Maybe if this is a 3-team deal where Memphis gets another (maybe aging or flawed) star from a team cutting payroll (Durant? Trae?) and we send the filler to said team so they can maintain some semblance of a competitive roster.
Also have to imagine how a Morant/Kyrie lineup works. Both guys are 6'3 on a good day, and neither are traditional guards. I suppose if your starting frontcourt is Flagg/AD/Lively that tends to not matter that much though.
