I'd say he's worth more. No off-court issue (Kyrie was coming of a lot) and no injury risk (he was coming off 3 seasons of 20, 54 and 29 games). He's less of a talent/fit than Irving, but still should get a decent haul.
I'd add a '28 swap and 2nds to really get him, but apart from that, I'm out.
Forcing the Mavs to take McDaniels/Temple, who are both meh or worse, and which would land them about $6M over the tax line (costing them a tax year, a tax payment of over $10M, and also the loss of about $20M in a share of tax collections), would be a deal killer imo.
