I think you are missing the point by a mile. Domas is a good player. I think everyone acknowledges that. But we aren’t going anywhere with him so far. Maybe Scott Perry is able to find the right pieces to fit next To Domas but I don’t think he’s a guy to build around. Proving to be a hard task so far, no?
We've done a better job building around Domas than we have any player since Webber. Three straight 40-win seasons with Domas. Zero other 40-win seasons in Sacramento outside of the Webber years (technically Adelman years, as Webb missed the very end). Never got there with Cousins, never got there with Fox before Domas was in the mix. Is there another player even worth thinking about?
And if we dump Domas, now who are we building around? Zach? Nope, he's gotta be the #2 guy even if he's the top scoring option. You NEED a better player on the floor than Zach to get anywhere. Keegan? I love Keegan, but he's no superstar. #4 guy on a contender, could become #3 if his rookie year shot comes back. Truly useful defensive player. DeRozan? Nope, #2, and too old. Monk? Keon? Carter? Nope, nope, nope.
We've got a lot of useful rotation players, as I think we all know and can be seen above. But we need that #1 guy, and unless we win the Cooper Flagg sweepstakes, I don't know where that guy is coming from. So it's Domas, who isn't the classic #1, but he gives us the ability to run the team through the high post (sound familiar?) and he rebounds like a star. Can score in the post, can score on the perimeter, basically runs the team's sets play in and play out on both sides of the ball. It's Domas, or it's give completely up and beg the lotto balls to be kinder to us than they usually have been. And if we take that second route, all of those nice rotation players are going to end up finding their way out of Sacramento and we'll have to build that rotation back up too.
I see three possibilities:
1) Keep Domas, rejigger by trading DDR and possibly Monk to get better roster balance, hand Zach the unquestioned #2 spot on the team as the primary scorer, and hope the Zach-Domas chemistry develops (I think it was said they played 15 games together?)
2) Hit the Flagg. That's a rebuild in the bounce of a ping-pong ball. But don't count on it.
3) Get rid of Domas and tank for at least 5 years. It'll be 5 years before we see .500 again, at the minimum.
Take your pick, I mean, except #2. Can't actually pick that, but we will have a less than 1% chance to get it anyway.
