The Suns would like to keep Channing Frye and he would like to return, but free agency may end their relationship.

Frye says he'll be patient and allow the free agent market to establish his value.

"I just have to sit and wait," Frye said. "It's a matter of being patient and looking at all the options. I'll let the market set my value. I have no idea about what it is.

"Phoenix always is going to have a slight edge, because that's what I know and where I've been successful. But I have to see what else is out there."

Frye increased his value this past season and opted out of the player option he held for 2010-11 at $2.1 million

"I'm not trying to break anybody's bank," Frye said. "I want the market to set the line and let me go from there. Wherever I go, I want to set my feet and make sure I'm part of the future. I don't want to be a two-years-and-out guy. I want to be there three, four, five years."
