There is no scenario where it makes sense to trade him right now. The Mavs were unwatchable last year. Step 1 is putting a real team out on the floor, a product fans like me want to watch. People forget this is an entertainment business.
It’s a little premature to be talking about windows and ideal contending rosters.
Want to watch can translate to various things. I would be less interested in a Flagg lead team that has no future because the rotation doesn't feature any players that are on the same timeline as Flagg. Others might be happy as long as the Mavs play some kind of role in april. Even if it is just the play-in.
There probably is a sweetspot inbetween but I would lean heavily towards a youth movement.
