Signing a five-year $45 million contract is usually reason enough to stay just about anywhere, but on Friday, Boris Diaw acknowledged the fact that Phoenix is an ideal situation for his game.

"Where could I be in a position as good as the Phoenix Suns?" Diaw asked when considering restricted free agency next year. "The answer was nowhere, so that's why I was really willing to stay here because I don't think there is any other team where I could fit as good as here."
