"I want to be here," said Dudley, who could become a restricted free agent next summer. "This is home to me, close to San Diego. Training camp's there. It just fits. "I'm thinking about obviously having a good year. It's crazy. Everywhere now, because of the success our team has, I get a lot of recognition every time I go out. I just want to be better. I don't want to go on last year's success. Amar'e's gone. Barbosa's gone. I think I can pick up more of a role. I'm not going to replace him (Stoudemire) or even come close. I know what I'm capable of doing and can improve as a player."

Glad to here this from Dudley, it makes me happy to see that Dudley is ready to elevate his game to the next level, and is providing positive outlook on the next season.
