Good deal overall, glad it's done. Gambo also said Mikal will play backup 2, Okobo will be gone and we're looking for a 3rd string PF now.

Gambo was answering questions in some of those threads last night...said it was a compromise for both sides. Suns don't want 2 players needing contracts in the same offseason, tho they'll deal with it with Bridges and Ayton when it comes up. Seems like Suns gave more money to get the shorter deal done. Gambo loves Oubre and would've liked him on a 3-4 year deal but Suns couldn't commit like that after only 12 starts. Oubre's betting on himself and if he plays well, Suns will pay him (we've heard that before).

Uh, Kaminsky? Maybe that deal is off.

I think he'd be 2nd string behind Saric, with Ayton and Baynes playing the 5.

Whatever it takes to keep Cam off the floor.

Its really courteous of you to be looking out for his hip like that.

Whatever it takes to keep Cam off the floor.

“Energy-wise, he turned this team around,” then-rookie center Deandre Ayton said back in March. “He’s making everybody embrace being family. … He has that energy to where we’re all brothers. We’re gonna fight. We’re gonna be cussing at each other. But we’re all as one.”

Oubre remembers feeling “really nervous” as he spoke to the crowd during his first home Suns game in late December. After all, the reason he wound up in Phoenix in the first place was because of a botched trade.

“I was like, ‘These people don’t know me. I’m just this new kid on the block,’” Oubre recalled. “But from that day forward, man, they embraced me with nothing but love. I plan to pay it forward 10 times over.”

Oubre has already started that process by staying in Phoenix following his breakout season.

He rejoins a Suns team with franchise anchors Ayton and Devin Booker intact. And a team that has otherwise revamped much of its roster, adding point guard Ricky Rubio, frontcourt players Dario Saric, Frank Kaminsky and Aron Baynes and draft picks Cameron Johnson and Ty Jerome.

They are all Valley Boyz now, thanks to the ringleader’s return.

The Phoenix lights are back on Oubre.

Time to release the trademarked merchandise.
