Duane Rankin: “It’s just something that happened and as a man, you don’t let somebody bow you in the face and not do anything about it or at least address them. I salute him for that.” Kelly Oubre Jr. Devin Booker, #Suns get chippy in blowout loss to Timberwolves bit.ly/2WeuGjB pic.twitter.com/zzrmOhVR7X
Josh Jackson: The Trevor Ariza-Kelly Oubre trade, I kind of saw it coming just being in the league, where anything can happen at any given time. I feel like both teams made a really good decision. Washington got a really good veteran player who is going to help them immediately. We got another young, athletic player we can build around and put out there. It fits our style of play. Trevor, obviously, was my veteran [mentor]. I felt really good just having him around. He still calls me from time to time. He taught me a lot. He gave me advice all the time. He told me to stay strong through it all. The losing can get to you a little bit. Trevor helped me to stay with it and keep pushing.
Josh Jackson: He told me to always be myself and never forget who I am. And what he meant by that is, you see all the money come but don’t change. Always be you. You know who your friends and close family are. There is a lot of nitpicking and people pulling you from who you are. His message to me: ‘Don’t let it change you. You’ve always been a cool and humble guy. You should stay that way on the court and be confident.’ No matter how many shots I miss, no matter how many games I lose, stay confident. I was really sad to see him go. I wanted to have a couple more years with him at least. It definitely makes a difference with all the change. Imagine coming in with all this change every other month, every week. It’s kind of hard to get adjusted to, but I think every guy here has made the best of it and done an amazing job. They’re still here working. It is what it is. I’m going to still keep doing it and make the best of my situation.
