A) Nah, for all the reasons I laid out.
B) Even if so, that's STILL better than the situation they'll be in if they do what you think they'll do. What they'd GET is not having to do a deal like what you're describing, which is obvious. You want them to trade Kyrie Irving, who's distressed, sure, but not on a longterm hamstring of a deal, along WITH assets, for some bad contracts and a couple of good role players? Nope. They're smarter than that. Kyrie walking (away from a player in Durant who I believe will be excited to see him go) is not worse than that. It's just not. And, I bet they'll get something small (but positive) for facilitating, as I said.
C) Do they even HAVE picks to trade? Houston owns that franchise for years, yeah?
