That plus he is constantly swarmed defensively. David Nash cut a video of his 25 points. Find me more than one that wasn't double teamed.

I understand both points, but how is that any different from last year? He was doubled constantly last year and ran the offense just as much. Would feel better if he could at least finish on a high note.

He's been forcing things a lot more this year. He seems to be expecting the star treatment from the officials, but it's rarely given.

We also had better ball handling guards like Mike James and Elfrid Payton who took more of that responsibility away from Booker.

The Suns have signed Ray Spalding for the remainder of the season.

The missing piece.

Sarver probably thinks he'll get a discount on basketballs now.

Spalding has the same agent as Terry Rozier.

Take that for what it's worth.

LOL. I am always here for a "Sarver is cheap" joke.

Rozier will also be a restricted free agent, with Phoenix considered by league sources as a team likely to make a strong push for the point guard. The Suns offered a protected first-round pick for Rozier before the season, but Boston demanded an unprotected first, per league sources.

From Kevin O’Connors Celtics article today. As someone mentioned earlier...same agent as Ray Spalding. There is quite a bit pointing to us going after Rozier.

Think it’s a mistake, I think we need to go hard after Jrue.

Based on the ESPN article today, it almost seems like that is giving the FO too much credit--they may not be thinking this through to free agency.

Not going to happen. The organization loves him - as do the fans in New Orleans. Basically all the love Pels fans had for Davis is now Jrue's. It'd be like trading Drew Brees at this point, that is how much love he's getting.

I like Jrue, but even NO believes that Jrue plays better with a pg. I honestly hope that Rozier is the like the 4th or 5th fall back plan. I'm just not convinced that he's all that great and hardly see him as even an upgrade on Tyler Johnson and not even a long term prospect better than Melton.

Rozier is exactly the sort of player our short-sighted FO is likely to go after this offseason. He is an interesting player, but I don't think he is the type of point guard we need. And I think he has been exposed a bit in Boston this year as a guy who can't really contribute adequately to a contending team. He's a misfit. Doesn't look to pass enough for my taste, and not exceptional enough as a shooter/scorer to want him holding the ball. I want our PG finding Booker and Ayton with his passes, and sprinkling in the occasional 3 or drive to the basket when those options aren't available. I don't think Terry Rozier is that guy. Terry is going to be more likely to wave off Book or Ayton and try to score it himself. No thanks.

They may love him, but I think a lot depends on what they get for AD. They could prefer to keep Jrue to lead a bunch of young guys, but what if they could get RJ Barrett? Are they reloading or rebuilding with the AD trade?

If Jrue isn’t available, I think I’d go after Conley

Let me apologize. I did not see Roziers name there. I thought the following statements were all about Holiday and I spit up my drink

That is something else man.

Haha, I should have separated talking about Jrue and Rozier with a paragraph break. I would have spit out my drink too with if I saw myself saying that about Jrue.

I don't know, In2; saying Rozier isn't an upgrade over Tyler Johnson is somewhat laughable.

Suns have won 3 of 4 with Ayton looking like a dominant big. He's also defended 2 of the league's best players.
