Nope. Not buying into that imagined-disaster scenario even one smidgen. The Mavs keeping Flagg depends way more on their willingness to pay him, than anything else.
Would landing a good player help? Sure. But it's not now or never on adding talent. They will have the same 200M or so to build out a good team as anyone else. So they can offer money, and minutes. And they already have the superstar.
