They're 7-31 and just lost a starter. Blow it up/tank job time?

Looks like time to blow it up for sure go in the tank.

They are in the tank already. But the rebuild could be swift with Ingram, Zion and CJ trades. No need to draw this thing out.

Should move this team to Seattle. This city cursed, plays can’t stay healthy.
