Assuming a scenario where Kyrie says to Mavs he wants to be in Phoenix, this is how I see it as most likely to happen:
1. Kyrie: I like Dallas, but I would really like to go to Phoenix
2. Mavs: We understand, but we demand Ayton, no bad salary, and 2 first round picks to help you with that
3. Kyrie: My guys worked really hard to explore all the options, but it is just not possible. Best they can do is Ayton and two second rounders and you don't worry about other moving parts
4. Mavs: Screw it than, we don't want it. You sign with us or you can enjoy your time with losers with cap space.
5. Kyrie signs with losers with cap space and is traded to Phoenix half a year later for Ayton, 2 second rounders and whatever salary filler needed
