I think the unknowns of Flagg's upside are far more tantalizing than what we know about Ball. As talented as he is, I'm ready for our next cornerstone to be a two way player and how much easier that makes building a team around him. And if you loved someone at #4, I think you could get #3 from the 76ers by taking back PG13 without giving up Flagg, but you'd have to send out AD which isn't likely to happen.
And speaking of taking back bad contracts, the only other interesting trade idea from those options is Jrue, but I'd want more than just Pritchard for taking on 3 years and 100M+.
I might be alone here, but I consider AD's contract a bad one considering his age and injury history and the ridiculous amount.
Perhaps someone can convince me it's not, but I think if Philly offered PG/#3/#35 for AD Mavs should consider it.
