as far as understanding the game of basketball, opening up and just working on different skills on the offensive end and being more focused on defense.

I'm ready to go. I'm really trying to win a championship this year. That's what I'm striving for. There are a lot of new guys and there have been some huge changes, but I think it's all for the best to help this team become a champion.

We have guys that can score and still put up the same amount of points we put up last year, and also defend a lot better,

The fans are just a pleasure to be around, ... When I'm out in public, they greet me with open arms. Also the organization has been great from the beginning. I think it's only right that I stay here and continue what I started.

I've just been working on my game the whole summer to try to take us to the top. This has been a $100 million summer for me, so I'm very proud of that. I'm just looking forward to bringing the championship home right here in Phoenix.
