At the time we bought the team (June 30, 2004), we agreed to a new three-year contract with Bryan. Dating back to last summer, I assured Bryan of my intention to extend his contract. I'm disappointed with Bryan's decision but I wish him well. |

Bryan has decided that his preference is to leave the Suns, and under those circumstances, we saw no other option other than to accept his decision. |
From the get-go, our entire intention was to sign Joe Johnson . As I read some of the reports and listen to some of the commentary about how we kind of duped our fans or tricked our fans or whatever, it's just totally false. We went out of our way to do everything we could to sign Joe Johnson . |

I think our team will be better, ... I rely on the coach and GM for that and they're jazzed. The team is going to be a little different.

I would say it did surprise me. When I heard Toronto was interested in talking to him, that didn't surprise me. The fact that he wanted to pursue it surprised me. |
I wouldn't say it was difficult. We still get along. |
In business, people wait until the story's finished and then judge whether it's good or bad, |
It could be on schedule; it could be three years from now. |
It's a waste of time and really kind of futile. (But) I think you do it because it makes you feel better. |
Our commitment is to bring a WNBA Championship to Phoenix, ... In the last two seasons the Mercury have gone from a team that won just eight games to the doorstep of the playoffs. We will begin the search immediately for the person who can take us to the next level in our effort to bring a championship to our very loyal fans. |
