I am beginning to get there as well.
We need to trade Richards to get under the tax, but other than that, we should probably stand pat.

I think it is more likely Grayson starts and Royce comes off the bench.

Better off silent
Why would you say that? Just curious. Royce is much more equipped to guard the 4 than Grayson is. Otherwise, Dillon would have to do it.
And Livers, who I consider more reliable than Dunn and Fleming at this stage.
As book said to Ayton…”hell nahh”

They did. Props to the Kings. Beat Houston and LAL on back to back nights with no Sabonis or Keegan Murray.
24-15 we'd be tied for the 3rd seed in tne east

That second team would give the starters some problems head to head.

I can't believe that we somehow have a glut of good role players. Everyone listed should get, at minimum 15-20 minutes per game, they pretty much all play their roles well. And most of those guys were there last season.
It really helps players grow when they are not standing around watching unaccountable superstars dribble for 20 seconds, take a terrible shot, and then not bother to get back on defense.
This is a roster that has a similar vision on the court.
Devin Booker should be untouchable for the Phoenix Suns
PHOENIX — The NBA trade deadline is drawing closer, and with it, many analysts and fans alike are sharing their predictions and wish lists, hoping to see which teams might make a splash by acquiring star players. For some reason, however, some believe the Phoenix Suns should trade core pieces...
Suns get skewered by ESPN for blockbuster trade decisions
Out of the NBA's blockbuster trades of the past decade, the Phoenix Suns are responsible for a pair of stinkers.

ESPN just repeating the same tired schtick.
I think we bet on a veteran like Davis to do what Bouyea has done for us.
But yeah such a good turnaround considering some of the players were here already; Allen, Oneale, Gillespie, Book, Oso, and Dunn.
The youth and energy from the new guys helps a lot, we can't do what we do if we don't have the horses to do so.
And for me, its the centers who are key to all of this.
i wonder how much (if at all) devin was involved with the who stays who goes process that took place in the offseason - because honestly - everyone that stayed is pretty bad ass
The Suns defensive identity is no longer being punished
What is one factor as to why the Suns are winning? Because the game is finally meeting them halfway.

Yes, Dilllon is our 4.
Just a gut feeling really, I think Ott wants to maximize shooting and creation in the starting lineup.

Yeah. It would be nice if we had an actual power forward but unless he's a plus player, I'm not convinced it would be to our advantage. Sure, we currently give up some size at that spot but we gain matchup advantages with Dillon and Royce covering that position that offset much of what they give up. If we can add a PF without reducing our guard/perimeter threats then fine but I no longer view it as a necessity.

Welcome to the Age of Ayton
Rasheer Fleming could be the 4 we've been needing, but how fast can he develop is the question.
