Some of the more enlightened folks in this great land know that the grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence. One such player is Phoenix Suns swingman Jared Dudley.

“Just because our team’s bad,” he said to Bright Side of the Sun own Jim Coughenour and SB Nation’s Kris Habbas on Friday’s podcast. “I don’t want to jump off. No.”

Dudley acknowledged that Suns players are definitely frustrated, but disavowed the notion that they all want out. Dudley opined that, if he is traded, he would not want to go to another bad team. But even rather than go to a good team, he’d simply rather stay right where he is.

“It’s easy to be in a good mood when you’re winning,” he said. “When you’re losing, you need to stay in the gym, stay on guys. You never want to leave. I’ll be the first one to tell you that if I had to leave, I don’t want to go to a team that’s bad. Phoenix, city-wise, is one of the top 5 destinations to go to, so why not just stay here and just get better?”
