After watching the press conference introducing the newest member of your Phoenix Suns, I felt myself warming up to the guy. I'd much rather listen to him talk in that slow, almost slurred, almost soothing, barely audible voice than Marion's nervous twitching and sputtering. The Matrix has to be one of the worst interviews in sports, America - maybe the universe. It's pretty difficult to find any footage or audio of his reaction to this trade. I only just now found a few quotes from him. Even in print (which is the best way to digest his communications if you have to submit yourself to them at all (which I don't have to do anymore)) he sounds like a jackass. Arizona sports editors just gained an extra 2 hours in there day now that they don't have to process his interviews into something comprehensible. Maybe we'll finally see something legible from the geniuses at the Arizona Republic.
No, he hasn't played a game yet, but he's saying all the right things and that's the most we can ask for right now. Everyone looks happy for the first time this season. It sounds like he's made the commitment and everyone else is right there with him. Now we keep our fingers crossed, pray he gets/stays healthy, and think of new nicknames for him.
