    The Suns ownership/YesMan-GM is a joke

    Team sits a guy because they're trying to lose games on purpose

    Player doesn't complain. Professionally asks for a trade.

    Team doesn't fulfill it.

    Player gets rightfully upset.

    ------

    Yeah, real toxic.

    Someone like Carmelo is much more of a toxic player than Bledsoe imo.

    Other then Eric's tweet (which admittedly he should have kept to himself) he has been nothing but professional.

    Now this isn't to say I am trying to get Bledsoe necessarily.

    So we trade Lillard for Bledsoe right? Is that how this forum is? Should we throw in a draft pick just in case they balk?

    Because he pouted and demanded a trade and had his team send him home.

    That's concrete proof.

    Let's keep this realistic. Lillard isn't on Bledsoes level have you seen some of his shots the last two games??

    I’m not sure if you’re being ironic but here’s a real question: if you prefer Bledsoe to Lillard are you ready to only have him for 55 games? What’s the plan for the other 27 games when he’s inevitably injured?

    Are you dumb or are you trolling? He asked for a trade in the offseason, in PRIVATE, and AFTER he was benched for no reason other than the Suns wanting to lose as many games as possible. This all happened BEFORE he took it public.

    Let me ask you a question, do you think benching a player so a team could increase their odds of losing games is professional? Would you expect a player to be ok with that?

    I would include picks, but you cant do that on trade machine

    NO I google, and it always diverts to Yahoo. I dont know why.
    Isnt everything owned by something else these days anyhow?

    So you admit he asked for a trade.

    He posted on twitter “I don’t want to be here.” That’s pouting, and detrimental to the team.

    His team sent him home.

    The facts are what they are, and undeniable.

    Anyone who takes him is going to take the risk he won’t do the same with a different team. Other players in the same situation haven’t done so well.

    He’s high risk, high reward, but we don’t have to take that big a risk. At this point, I’d rather play ET and Pat and Shabazz.

    Bledsoe doesn't make much sense from a cohesion standpoint for them in my opinion.

    The more Cleveland loses, the more likely it is that Bledsoe ends up there.

    True. You'd have to hope he'd be on his best behavior and that the whole "I don't want to be here" thing was an aberration.
