Basically it's an idea from Chris Sheridan that got me intrigued.
https://nesn.com/2019/01/nba-reporter-floats-possible-kyrie-irving-anthony-davis-trade-scenario/We all know that the C's cannot trade for AD till next summer because of the Rose rule, unless we trade Kyrie as well. The initial idea is a 3-way with the Pels and the Knicks where the C's get AD, the Knicks get Kyrie and the Pels get Zinger + additional assets (prospects/picks). From then on, feel free to play with the trade machine to come up with an idea that would seem at least semi realistic from the Pels point of view.
I'm kind of confident that a package of Zinger + Brown + filler(s) + pick(s) would get the job done (assuming the Pels are willing to sell). Not sure whether I'd part ways with both Kyrie and Brown though. To be honest, it feels like an overpay.
Williams would be a perfect fit next to Porzingis, hence let's throw him in. Anyway, here's the proposed trade:

Boston out: Kyrie + Williams + as many picks as it takes to get it done
*(Perhaps we take back a couple of small contracts from the Pels as well to help them come down to 15 players after the trade. In this case, we 'd have to cut Bird or send him to the Knicks.)
NY in: Kyrie
NY out: Porzingis + Ntilikina + Lance Thomas (salary filler) + probably a pick(?)
New Orleans in: Porzingis + Williams + Ntilikina + Lance Thomas + as many picks as it takes to get it done
New Orleans out: AD
At the end of the day, I'm not sure whether that's enough value for the Pels, but it's all about their alternatives on the open market. I mean, if you were the Pels GM and you were looking to get max possible value for AD which package would you rather have? Porzingis + more young prospects/picks or Ingram + Kuz + whatever else the Lakers may offer? Imo, Porzingis is hands down the best player from that group.
As for the Knicks, Kyrie is just 3 years older than Porzingis and he ain't coming off of a major injury. The plan would be to pair Kyrie with a second star via free agency next summer.
