The specifics aren’t important and are a little lopsided in the Mavs favor, but I like the general direction. If you want to win now, then trade Flagg. If you try to win now with Flagg, AD, and Kyrie, you’re just going to fail and be forced to trade Flagg later at gunpoint with a dying team. The Mavs could rebuild this thing quickly for a nice 6-10 year window by prioritizing young, cheap players and draft picks, and signing one impact free agent in a year or two.
