Flagg is capable of being the #1 player. But his game and growth has been even better when he is able to be the #2 (with AD) and I wonder if he takes yet another leap in growth if Kyrie returns and he's able to be #3.
To me, those aspects make me cautious with the value of a trade. It makes me solidly entrenched in the idea that any trade of AD outgoing has to give the Mavs a player who is either a star now, or who has the capacity to become one. Otherwise, I want to see them keep AD and Kyrie TO ACCELERATE THE GROWTH OF FLAGG.
