Mavs-Nets deadline trade in 2023...

Dinwiddie + DFS + 2029 1st + 2027 2nd+ 2029 2nd for Kyrie and Morris

Multiple firsts or a high lottery pick isn't going to happen unless Kyrie somehow increased his value compared to 2023.

Of course his value increased, or, rather, it's not bottomed out like it was. How can you not remember that Kyrie was a PR nightmare at the time in Brooklyn?  They, essentially, had to deal him as a distressed asset.  Since then he's become a completely changed person, putting the team first in a way that he never did before.
