Re: What do you think is the ceiling for the Suns?
Anyone notice that we are actually doing pretty okey against top 6 in the west? We are 4-4 against SA, DA, LA, OKC, UT, DE with 5 out of 8 games being on the road? The reason I didn't include Grizzlies and Blazers is because I can't see us finishing in a way that we would end up playing those 2 teams in the playoffs. Considering that we just got better I believe that we're not totally out of the picture this season.

Re: What do you think is the ceiling for the Suns?
So the roster significantly changed. Do you think we got enough for a push for WC Finals? Or you want to see VC and Gortat first?

"Aaron Gordon will cost Henny's job by Dec 2016." Predicted Dec 2014.
"O'Quinn will have a longer and more successful NBA career than Nicholson." Predicted Jun 2012. Verified on Dec 2014.

I think we can get out the first round with this roster honestly. I think we're definitely a playoff team after this trade.
Steve Nash is the point guard jason kidd wishes he was.

+1.
Get us a decent PF who can rebound and defend while running the PnR satisfactorily, I think we're back to where we were last playoffs. I'm not usually this optimistic so yeah.

How many other PF's are there out that fit those parameters, who are not A: on massively large and long contracts, B: Are not 32+ years old, C: Have not had 5 knee-reconstructions, and D: Are not Amare Stoudemire.
Much easier said than done, but would be great if our F.O could pull off a tarde like that without giving away the farm.

Jason Thompson is one. I didn't say he had to be a stud, just someone who can make the system dangerous.

There aren't many PF out for us to trade for, if there are then their teams are not looking to trading them. Everyone is looking for size, i think we capitalized on Orlando's desperation by getting Gortat.
I think we are good with the current lineup after the trade, no need for more additions. I really optimistic of our chances on landing #4 seed with this lineup.
