I never felt Bledsoe was in a position to make a fuss. Hadn't lead the team to anything relevant and was getting paid a max deal to do it. But he fussed from that salon or wherever. Knight will fuss if he's here. You watch.

Bledsoe didn't have a max contract. But I agree with the rest of your post.

I guess I dont see why making a fuss, if he did would be a big deal. It's not like he can nuke his value anymore.

You should watch his exit interview with the media. He seems to have figured things out and has come to terms with his situation. He knows this is Booker's team and just wants to help. I'm cautiously optimistic about his play next year.

His value is not even a thought at this point for me. It's more that he can nuke the team chemistry.

He seemed to be getting along well with teammates while on the bench. Of the 14 people we have played at PG this year, he is probably the best overall.

Oh I agree. I just have no tolerance for him being grumpy about coming off the bench. We've already dealt with that once from him.

Yup. I'm taking a wait and see attitude.

Wait and see is the way to go. Sometimes the predictive negativity on this board gets out of control. Like why get all worked up and worried about something that might happen long before it actually happens?!?!!

I don't really think it's a negative approach. I think that it's the realistic approach to have under the Sarver regime. I think the positives are Booker and Jackson and I'm grateful that we at least have that. However, when it comes to Knight, I'm not going to mince words. Dude stank up the building every night to the tune of 70 mil and had a
"me first" attitude before he blew his knee out so yeah he better have a pretty damn good exit interview.
