Hopefully, though I hope we don't reach for Sexton if we have the 6th/7th pick. Hopefully we can get Doncic or Young. We need one of those guys in the worst way. Both would help transform our team and be a great pairing with Booker.

I was thinking a PG for the rest of this season. Booker looks overwhelmed by the point guard duties.

Its hard to tell really how much the injury is affecting him. He didnt look great before injury except the rockets game.

Booker playing point is a win for opposition team. Hes a pure 2

McDonough must have a quota of disgruntled point guards.

And Josh Jackson at SG isn't ideal either.

Donovan Mitchell coming from behind to steal ROY from Ben Simmons would be hilarious... since the media have called Simmons ROY already.

The guy is killing Devin Booker... wow. But Booker looks hurt or not himself anyways.

Pathetic plays for the Suns at the moment and crap defense... layups galore...

I know Booker is having another meh-to-poor game, but overall this (yet another) uninspired, butt-ugly game overall is why there's no f'ing way I'm good with Triano/Corbin et al getting the keys for the climb.

There's no way anyone from this coaching staff would be hired for the '18-'19 Suns if they're currently with some other lottery-ish team.

There is a lot of talent on this team...but almost none on the coaching staff. Nice guys I'm sure, but second rate coaches.

Stick with the rebuild. Fire they ENTIRE coaching staff.

an aside ...trading for Aaron Gordon? Please no McD!!!

You'd think with all the questions of who people would rather have, that Booker would have brought it against him.

He's been an average to bad defender for 2 years now...

Mentally... he knows how to play defense, but his body is just done...

I think Mitchell will be the best SG under 23 by next season.... he plays both sides and he is ridiculous from outside.

Murray might become the best offensively between them. His handle is ridiculous.

Ya really hoping they dont retain Triano, team has showed little to no improvement with him and this staff. These guys need new voices from top to bottom.

Murray is a heck of a shooter... but so is Mitchell

And Mitchell is more athletic and defensively he is a stud though. Liking him a lot. Well done Jazz.

Booker playing terribly. Jazz can't miss a 3, even Rubio knocking down 3s against us which for some reason always seems to be the case.

Gotta get a PG. Even BK would help this team right now, which is something I never thought I'd say.

These are the types of games that should get an alpha (Kobe/MJ) like guy pissed off and cause him to elevate his game, but Book just doesn't seem to have it anymore. Looks like he's just phoning it in.

I feel sorry for people who paid to see this game. Team is clearly not giving their best. Simple side-to-side ball movement and they get a wide-open look.
