The Sacramento Kings are putting together yet another struggling NBA season. Even slightly after 20 games into the season, the Kings find themselves trailing the last spot in the play-in tournament by three games. Is it time to blow it up?
The first order of operations for a tear down by the Kings would involve moving De’Aaron Fox in a trade. Sacramento would shift course to building around Tyrese Haliburton and Davion Mitchell.
