bring him back? He is a free agent. Solid veteran, 3rd string player I'd say.

I would be happy to have Dudley back in Phoenix.

I'd find out what his post-career plans are and if he wants to stay in basketball I'd bring him in but with an eye to his future rather than what he'll give us on the court. He seems to be fairly smart and is a natural leader so I wouldn't be surprised to see him coaching one day. I'd love to see him tied to the organization in some way.

Wow, he's only 30? I thought he was in the twilight of his career.

I'd love him back. He had said on Twitter that he wanted to return to Phoenix this past summer but the Suns didn't feel the same way.

He's a good bench guy to have and a great voice in the locker room. He's also a funny, easy going guy and we can use a veteran like that in the locker room.

I wouldn't mind us trading Tucker, drafting or signing a starting caliber SF (unless they think Warren's ready for that) and then have Dudley as the backup forward who can play either the 2, 3 or 4 (in short spurts).

Great article written by Dudley about his return to Phoenix.

Jared Dudley: "For us, the goal definitely is the playoffs." He said the Suns will need to be a top-10 defense to do that.

Jared Dudley said it is going to be important for he, Chandler and Tucker to break up any young cliques that form.

Jared Dudley is pledging five dunks this season. He said he hasn't dunked since his July 2015 back surgery.

I wonder if Dudley's presence last year or the year before would have helped with the Morris brothers. Not that I miss either one long term but there is definitely a hole at PF and it seems Dudley has the right attitude to deal with youngsters.

I dunno, I would have thought if anybody could, it would be Chandler that could keep those knuckleheads in line. I think they were beyond reprieve together.

They were both gone by the time we signed Chandler, although only one was gone physically.

 

[Chaplin]

Just listen to Jared. What a professional.

Go JD!

With his team leading 63-41, Jared Dudley asks, "Do we have a mercy rule here?"
