The only realistic path to the WCF or even Finals that I see is for Davis to go full Bubble Davis and play like the best player on the planet for a couple months
It's there, it could happen. So I get why we'd keep him.

 
I am treating next year as an evaluation year and hopefully an enjoy watching basketball again year.  I don't believe title contention is realistic.  I would love to be proven wrong.  

I think the best way for this team to be a contender in the next 3-4 years is for AD to be really good.   I am not sure if I see an avenue to be a contender if he is moved for parts.   I could be wrong and this year will form my opinion of what I think.  Maybe they aren't a contender in the next 3-4 years anyway.   

I think AD and Kyrie if both are healthy have a 3 maybe 4 year run.  After that, hopefully you can move to phase 2 for Flagg.  Maybe it will take a year or two to reset, but that is my vision currently.

Although if the AD thing does not hit, I will be singing a different tune quickly.
