Portis would make us a little better but I'm not at all unhappy with the pieces we have and I'm not sure we're anywhere near our ceiling. There's a player or two that mean nothing to me but there isn't anyone in this rotation that I'd really like to get rid of. If I were running things there I'd probably just ask Ott what he wants and who he's willing to part with to make it happen. I suspect he might want to run with these guys at least till the offseason.

I agree, do whatever Ott wants. I also am happy with every player on the roster. I don't believe there is a single player on the team playing below realistic expectations, a clear tribute to Ott.

However, we are going to need another big that can rebound and score inside to handle a long playoff run. Richards is gone anyway, and we have a glut of wings especially when/if Green is healthy.

I wouldn't make trade for the sake of making a trade, I wouldn't trade for a headcase or a bad contract, but if the right deal presents itself do it.

I'm a huge Zach Lowe fan, one of the more objective NBA pundits around, and he just had a nice long segment on the Suns yesterday. Starts around the 1:25 mark (can select chapter for it)

Come on Ouchie, you can't tell that for sure on a tv broadcast, especially when you are arguing about a single inch or two.
I’m not trying to argue. Just an observation. And I do you think you can somewhat gauge guys heights. We see them next to a large number of guys who we loosely “know” (again, it’s based on reporting) their heights. You can kind of figure out who is taller than whom-ish.

Interesting. Both he and Royce listed as you state. Look at the on the court and there’s no way they are their stated heights.
Yeah they aren't.

I think the real heights are like
Brooks 6'6 or 6'7
O'Neal 6'4
Williams 7'0
Dunn 6'8
Oso 6'10
Flemming 6'7

One of my favorite quotes in life. It applies to more than sports.

"Just taking what the defense was giving us." Collin Gillespie

Mark Williams up to this point has been absolute HIGHWAY ROBBERY for the Suns. If this guy proves he can stay healthy for an entire season? He is everything I was hoping we would get out of Ayton. Notice how nobody questions Williams work ethic even when he doesn't have a great game. That alone made the trade worth it.

They are approximately their stated heights with shoes on. So in fact Brooks for instance is 6'7" on the court, but he is around 6'5" without shoes which we will rarely see ourselves.

I would not go that far.

Nigel Hayes Davis is way below expectations, Dunn is below expectations, Maluwach has to be put in that category, and so is Nick Richards.

Overall an excellent performance by the roster, but it's not perfect.
