My bad. It was the pick swap and 4 second rounders that cost NY to dump Kemba. So all together it cost NY 6 SRP for dumping the three. The SRP coming back to NY from Detroit is a "fake one", protected 30-55.

I am just tired of Mavs. Whole season we are listing ideas here, some extremely complicated. But once we have all the data on the table, all it is done is stating reasons why it couldn't be done. You just made a huge speech on negotiation skills and closing deals only a couple of days ago.
I think, both Mavs and New York knew well before FA and draft where Brunson is going. It is their job to know and it was reported Mavs knew. NY not only dumped Kemba on draft night, but also sold their #11 for future FRP, to open cap space. They bought #13 in a separate move to dump Kemba. I don't think NY would go through all that troubles if they didn't know why they need to dump him. That Kemba move was extremely complicated so I can't agree the Detroit part was easy for NY.
So, working under assumption they knew, it is just a question of wanting it. If Mavs were interested to get something for Dallas, they could pull it off. It is not impossible. They could/should convince NY to work with them. There are many ways those deals could be constructed using the TPE and SnT. It is just a matter of pulling it off. Convincing them they are the partner. Closing the deal.
It is really difficult to get all the numbers before the deals are done for me. But roughly and please correct me if I ma wrong. Burks as highest salary could go into TPE. That leaves roughly 18,5 mil of salary coming to Dallas. I think Brunson outgoing is 14 mil. Doesn't that mean that this fits into the 14 mil + 5 mil rule for Dallas? Dallas outgoing 14 mil, incoming 18,5 mil. As for the NY part. They would have how much cap space by dumping Burks, #11 and Gibson? Wouldn't that be north of 10 mil, so enough to match the incoming 28 mil of Brunson with outgoing Kemba+Noel.
Not even to mention, that all of agreed things with Detroit/Brunson could be reworked a bit to make it happen with Dallas without anyone really suffering any loss.

Getting those 2, to only net a measly SRP, while also bumping your payroll and tax by about $95M total, isn't that enticing.
I think it is 6 SRP and a pick swap. Of course I don't have the details of Burks health status, but it didn't seem like his injury is something serious. It seems "half" the league have some sort of maintenance surgeries during summer. He is certainly a useful player for Mavs to take some burden from Bullock and DFS. I don't see anyone on Mavs roster that would be better for that. As for Noel and Kemba - Mavs could just cut them, if they didn't like them. Same thing Detroit will do with Kemba. So Mavs would have a wing, pick swap and 6 SRP.
