I was actually in middle of my workout book called me book called me FaceTime me so book book when he when he needs something he’ll FaceTime me and I was I was actually about to change my shoes because I was about to get on the court

And do a little Dynamic uh workout and book called me and gave me that look like so must be good news he said yeah call me after the workout so like that was in the middle of my workout in Phoenix so I’ve been here for about two

Months just training with Von compon and see it and just getting it in so I got that phone call and then H go with him finish my workout but you can hear I can hear my phone blowing up um and it was my agents and my mom and everybody but

Yeah that’s where I got I was out here I don’t remember bro I just got that call and I was excited man just you know jumped around for a little bit all right time to get back to work I’ll take care of that after I’m done working out so what do

You look at situation here now how are you feel about being back uh I think I can help in in in many different ways being vocal uh having an experience um not a lot of experience but enough experience to uh also be a little vocal um just my in my defensive you know

Experience also uh that’s one thing that I’mma you know take pride in and then knocking down a three something that I something that I’ve always you know wanted to work on and you know contribute to the team but also having an energy bringing a smile back to the

City that period of time between now what were you kind do ready um so it I’m not gonna lie so so first of all it was very very emotional uh because you know you work so hard and you know some players be like you never know when your window you know your door

Close and the NBA whatever I mean I I had a had a lot of guys you know hit me up and you know hey stay positive you a lot of coaches hit me up chy B was the first one be like don’t worry about it

You’ll be picked up at no time and then Coach M texting me and being like hey don’t worry about it you’ll be all right and then you know hearing you know your teammates BookIt you know everybody hit you up and stuff like that but I mean

Once I was way by Portland I flew I literally flew out the next day back to back back out here um and got straight to work um I trained every day uh five times six times a week um twice got my body right uh feel good look

Good and just stay positive man it was a lot of ups and downs during during these two and a half and I think it was like two and a half months God Dam but yeah just just stay positive man just a lot of ups and downs a lot of

Emotions every emotion you could possibly think of I know you love being out here you have any kind of inkling this might happen you got that the I mean me personally I’m we have agents but me personally I don’t really it gets to a point where I don’t hit my agent up

And be like hey what’s the word now I I have you know anxiety when it comes like okay hey I’ll call when they know I call it’s all right what’s the word give me something I just need something good and they say okay this is this is the team

This is the team this is the team you have a couple teams and I’m like all right we’re gonna push for this team and uh I mean we I got a phone call and you know they like hey be ready um I was here I thought I didn’t know if I was

Going to come in for a workout or anything I went to a workout for another team um but I didn’t know if you know I didn’t know if it was going to be 100% I didn’t know if they were to like th the trigger you know you tend to during that

Downtown you tend to get on Twitter and stuff like that and you like read a couple things like they might want a veteran they might want this guy they might sound a but I try not to look at that i’ seen it a couple times and I just got off of it

But I didn’t know until book called when he called I was all right cool he text me know we we talk every now and then but that phone call that that’s a different thing right there when you get that phone call from the mayor the president of Arizona how much you been

Watching I watch basketball no I’m not gonna lie to y’all man I watch basketball and there teams that I watch every game I probably miss four games I probably really I probably missed four games four games I was probably flying somewhere or busy but I’ll probably

Watch I watch a lot a lot of suns games a lot of you know Contender games because in my mindset I’m GNA go to a contender so this whole time I’m like okay I’m GNA go to Contender I got the playoff ready I got playoff mindset

Ready I got to know this know these Tendencies of this guy that guy this team Tennessee so I watch basketball yeah so I love it what’ you take away from these six months from most anything can happen BR don’t take this thing don’t take this game for

Granted I will never take this game for granted um because one thing one day you’ll be in the league next day you’ll be out for six months I just for for a couple months and you never know what can happen one but uh it’s I feel like

Everybody say it’s a second this 2.0 or 3.0 hey I’m back I’m I’m ready to contribute however I can and not take any any day for granted after you got de last year here run this time bought house here I rented a house I ain’t bought a house yeah

I’m that let y’ know that but now that you are back side Rel after you basically got Ral and you said that there was a bit of anxiety mon yeah but yeah um it’s a sign of relief but it’s a two-way I’m still competing I’m going to compete we have one more roster

Spoty I know how that goes it can go either some of us somebody saving me or dop gets converted over or they sign somebody else you know it’s out of my control I can only control me working waking up every morning playing I about to cuss just fine for cussing playing

You know playing my butt off working out um staying ready um and just playing when my name is car just be just just be ready um but yeah it’s it’s I’m not I’m not comfortable I’m I probably got comfortable before and that’s why it took you I got hurt and this and that

But I’m not comfortable I’m ready to compete and ready to play um and have fun while I’m doing it too still have fun still gonna smile but it’s about business stilles it feel good that Frank good in word bring you back oh yeah that and and in much respect to coach vogle

And Frank coach coach vogle the whole coaching staff and also ish Matt like I he was one of the guys that reached out too so I mean we stayed in contact this whole time we stayed in contact because I mean I know I know what they want to

Build here and I want I want to be a part of it so ready to get to work went up you know course and said what he said about not need to proove anything about getting his extension I mean you’ve seen his work at the gear end there so what’s your

Takeway when you hear people talk about his work ethic or the lack thereof or motivation I mean he’s motivated I mean that’s it’s it’s da like he got a Max contract for a reason like that’s I look at it you gota be I mean kind of got a Max contract super

Max I think I don’t know his contract but he got a super max I mean he earned it in some way so when he said I was like well all right that’s something that if he feels that way he feels that way everybody has their own opinion

About what he says but that’s also da being da that’s who he is he’s a confident dude and I don’t think anybody can take that away from him anybody so I mean of course he feels like he needs to work more on this game but eventually

One day he will be and you know a lot of people he could be the best big that one of these days but you know he has to I guess he has to prove that to everybody he thinks he he thinks that so hey it’s da appreciate thank y’all

  1. That’s cool that Devin called. 😁 Right on.. we need what he can bring. I hope he wants a championship. Maybe he can see this as a second chance and it’s time to get to another level like the Rocky movie workout scenes

  2. I’m glad they brought back Ish. He’s the soul of the bench. Hope he gets to play more. He’ll always be a favorite of mine.
