Did Eric Bledsoe just ask for a trade from the Suns on Twitter?

Normally I'm not a fan of players going public with what more or less likely should be private thoughts, but...

Good for you, Bledsoe
.

This situation in Phoenix is awful for him...Just awful. He and backcourt mate Devin Booker are at completely different points in their careers. Bledsoe is him his prime and wants to win now, while Booker is a young player looking to make the next step in his individual strides of his career.

Suns fans, as well as NBA fans in general for the most part, want Phoenix to be Booker's show, leaving Bledsoe on the outside looking in. He'll be a free agent in 2019 and with one full year left on his deal after this one, now is the best time to move him before this year's deadline...

Or better yet if I'm Phoenix, I'd move him ASAP to eliminate the distraction.

Would love to see him with the Bucks, Pelicans or 76ers.

Come back to the Clippers

Bledsoe wasn’t exactly a solution on the court this season or any season with us. He shouldn’t act like he’s above the rest of the team. Especially when Booker has a million times more potential. He gets his numbers but he will never be a true PG. he picks up his dribble and needs to get bailed out like 5 times a game and often goes into hero mode and chucks up ugly shots more than he likes to admit.

Deep down he’s a bit jealous of Booker I think. Any time Booker went on a hot streak during a game you could count on Bledsoe to cool him off by trying to force his own streak.

What about Bledsoe not being loyal to the organization? He is under contract. He should play it out and be happy about it. right? After all, that is what you said about George.

If Bledsoe played for the Pacers, you would be on here ranting and wishing injury upon him. The hypocrisy is unbelievable.

Nope doesn't apply here because the Suns aren't a team Hurricane roots for. It's all about that selective memory!

I think it would be a bad trade for the Bucks to give up Brogdon for Bledsoe. I don't think he's that much of an upgrade and Brogdon has more upside on a rookie contract.

I am not sure about more upside, but Brogdon is a fantastic role player. IMO, the Bucks should not be willing to deal him for Bledsoe. Bledsoe, as talented as he is might not fit that great with Giannis. Brogdon does not need the ball, he plays great defense and he shoots decently. I kind of hate the idea of a ball dominant guard playing with Giannis.

Actually, it's very believable.

Bucks won't offer anything for Bledsoe. Even if they did it wouldn't be the rookie of the year winner in Brogdon. The most they would offer is Tony Snell and a second round draft choice. That would be a nice lineup though

C: Monroe( 10 and 10 )/Thon Maker (20 years old demi God wants to be the greatest player ever right now he's just average at best but still very young)
PF: Parker(future all star 20ppg and 8 reb last season)
SF: Giannis(MVP)/Teltovic (3 pt specialist)
SG: Middleton(top 10 SG when healthy)/Brogdon (6th man of the year quality)
PG: Bledsoe(elite scoreing PG/Brogdon/Deledova

I think for the Bucks to get over the hump getting Middleton back for the season and Parker back for the second half of the year will be huge but to make them a legitimate opponent vs GS I think they need one more piece that's an all star caliber dude. You need four to win the championship now days. Giannis/Parker/Middleton is great with a solid 10 and 10 from Monroe and Brogdon is a 16 ppg and 4 ast a game guy right now but I'm not sure if he will be at all star level in his second year but potentially by year 3 or 4. Bucks should acquire a PG but I doubt they make this move.

Cory Joesph, Joesph Young, and our 2018 first rounder is my best offer. :clap:

Probably win a couple bets in that somehow goes down...

Poor Paul George...How could he possibly be compensated??? :scratch:

Nope. No, I wouldn't...2006 Ron Artest asked for a trade and I didn't wish any sort of harm on him. In fact, I agreed with him that there would always be a black cloud over both he and the team as long as he was in this uniform.
