But this year nba.com has taller heights for players again, so they must have thrown out that requirement.Split T wrote: ↑Fri Jan 26, 2024 11:19 amBbref says 6’4 226…but some other places do say 6’6…I have no clue. He’s probably 6’4 and change barefoot and 6’6 with shoes. He’s just never seemed that big to me. He’s more of a guard defender imo. Tate is probably the same height, but just looks much bigger on the court. I’ve seen him used as a 4 and small ball 5.
For example, Devin Booker went from 6-6 to 6-5 to 6-6 and Deandre Ayton went from 7-0 to 6-11 to 7-0.

Ya I think that’s their height barefoot…for as long as I can remember basketball players have been listed with their height in shoes.
I remember always thinking I’d be listed 6’5 if I played in the nba. I’m 6’3.5 and tell people I’m 6’3, but with shoes I’m 6’4.5 and I’d round up if I’m in the NBA

Chuck would’ve left KD off too if he wasn’t already a starter

I looked at his last 4 years…he’s basically 40% every year when wide open from 3 and he turns into Josh Okogie when he’s covered. That seems perfect for us. Teams don’t have to guard Okogie…they do have to guard Royce and they won’t really have the option to if he’s playing alongside our big guns.

The NBA height game is fun. OK, 6' during my NBA ages and 5'11" now. Little known fact is you lose some height with age.Split T wrote: ↑Fri Jan 26, 2024 12:36 pmYa I think that’s their height barefoot…for as long as I can remember basketball players have been listed with their height in shoes.

I'd be fine with O'Neale. He definitely fits.
Bey adds a shot creation element that O'Neale doesn't have (with worse defense, unfortunately):

And worse shooting…this year at least. I’d take Royce over Bey

What about the fact that Bey is an RFA and we'd have matching rights vs O'Neale's UFA status? If we're giving up assets, I'd like to at least get someone we can keep beyond this season, as it will be almost impossible to get someone like Bey or O'Neale as a free agent signing.
I do like the idea of getting two of these guys and I think it's possible.
Re: Suns News: Week 14 (1/22/24 - 1/28/24)
The craziest part of all of this is Bridges is both the best player we can get and also possibly the likeliest, if he plays the Bradley Beal game and tells the Hornets he'll only accept a trade to the Suns, they'll have no choice but to take our best offer. UGH.

I think Royce would stay here and we’d have his bird rights…not the same as matching rights, but I wouldn’t be too worried about it. Ultimately I do think we should use Little+vet min and the TPE…we could technically get Royce and Bey.Shabazz wrote: ↑Fri Jan 26, 2024 2:12 pmWhat about the fact that Bey is an RFA and we'd have matching rights vs O'Neale's UFA status?

I’m just not sure why Miles would only accept us. He wants to get paid and we can’t pay him…though I guess he might just want to show he can produce in a winning environment. Detroit would be the team that has expressed interest and could pay him.Shabazz wrote: ↑Fri Jan 26, 2024 2:12 pmThe craziest part of all of this is Bridges is both the best player we can get and also possibly the likeliest, if he plays the Bradley Beal game and tells the Hornets he'll only accept a trade to the Suns, they'll have no choice but to take our best offer.

Maybe he knows he's gonna have a hard time getting paid no matter where he plays.
