Because the Mavs now have Flagg and have likely already repaired some of the drop in franchise value trading Luka caused, I'm not sure we'll ever actually know the answer to this question.
At the very least, I think it's very safe to assume that it either halted or harmed the upward trajectory of the team's value. Though, it wouldn't surprise if there were an actual dip due to all the fan unease that lingers to this day. Lucking into Flagg certainly helps, but we are pretty far away from contention and Flagg's game is a bit less sexy than Luka's.
