The missing apostrophe in "don't"? Yeah, that's his style.

Good catch! Thank you. Should I delete that post?

ETA: I deleted it. Thought it was real at the time.

If this is true. And I be imagine it is, maybe Bledsoe feels like the only way to actually get out is to go public. Worked for dragic and Markieff. Bledsoe has been a great teammate and until now has always said the right thing. Time to move on quickly.

I don't like that Bledsoe made that tweet. But at least he came out and said how he feels rather than some lame passive-aggressive subtweet crap like most players would do. Just help find the man a new team and try to get a pick or asset back. Better for all parties involved. I actually think we'll play better once he's gone. He has not been helping us when he has been on the floor, and I would argue that a Ulis/James pg rotation is better than one with 2017 Bledsoe in it.

Kind of obvious that he's been checked out since the start of preseason.

I've been adamant since the last trade deadline that the draft was when he should be traded. It think we could've easily landed a late first round pick, but now we're probably gonna get a pile of garbage.

No worries. At first I was like "oh great.. Now there's going to be further division with the team. Devin is already chiming in..".

Well, he basically quit on the team, so I'm not surprised.

Of course sitting him at the end of last season might have contributed to it.

But I'm fine with them moving him as long as they get something fair in return.

Probably harder to do now than it would have been a few months ago.

Agreed. I'm ok with Ulis/James at PG, plus whoever we get from the bled trade.

Sidenote: it's been an hour and the tweet is still up, looks pretty clear like this was intentional and he wants out of Phoenix

I don’t care if it’s for nickels and dimes, Bledsoe needed to be traded last year.

Bledsoe, Chandler, and Dudley- appreciate all you’ve done but bye!

Watson, McD- GTFO

Sarver- sell the fucking team, and eat a dick.

of course, Bledsoe showed his ball-buster side a few years ago before we resigned him. now we're screwed

this is a continuation of the nightmare that started with the mishandling of 3 of the league's better point guards: Dragic, Bledsoe, Thomas.

what will we have to show for them when all 3 are gone?

Want to know what's a weird way to find out about this when you're the guy that usually posts the news on the site? From Google alerts when I never signed up for any alerts.

What a coward.

Can't be too surprised with how management has handled all the other players. So here we are again, about to start over. What a mess.

Also, with his history of knee injuries you have to sit him until he's traded. You can't play him or practice him.
