No, those aren't undersized T-shirts Shawn Marion is wearing.

The Suns small forward reported to informal workouts at America West Arena packing guns - the biceps variety.

Marion played and worked out in Chicago all summer and said he weighs 234 pounds, up about 14 pounds from his playing weight last season.

"I was up to 238, but that was too much," Marion said.

He's hoping he can keep the weight on through the rigors of an 82-game NBA season.

"That's the thing," he said. "I'm going to try to eat right so I can keep it on. I may hire a chef."
