"I'm calling it the family-values deal," Duffy said. "He was adamant about being close to his children. To be able to play in a competitive situation was wonderful after he had given everything he could to re-establish the brand of the Suns. He wanted for the Suns to have some benefit (in his departure). He's very grateful to Robert (Sarver) and the Suns. They wanted to respect him but also remove the shadows of Steve. He's getting older and it's time to reboot."
