That sounds so sad and desperate. It almost feels like a comedy writer couldn't have written a more absurd tweet for him. I mean, seriously?

That's what Monroe threatened a while ago and as far as I know, he still hasn't signed it.
Right on cue...

We'll just take your word for it, Lebron.

Ha. So, does this mean he really WANTS to be in Phoenix?
If you pay him $84 Million he wants to be here. Otherwise, he wants to be somewhere else that will pay him the max. It's all about the Benjamins.

Maybe Bledsoe should think about "breaking bread"?
Whatever it means, it doesn't sound anything like, "I am taking the QO offer."

"Break bread" is an interesting choice of terms, considering insider reports that there is "zero communication" because Bledsoe's camp is refusing to sit down and negotiate.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

If Bledsoe gets benched then I think that will lead to problems.

I agree with the principle behind that comment though. Having Bledsoe here for the qualifier is a complete waste. It's really wasting the season.

LeBron James weighs in on Eric Bledsoe's free agency
Paul Coro, azcentral sports

The Suns now are getting unsolicited advice from LeBron James about what to do for restricted free agent Eric Bledsoe.

James posted a photo on his Instagram account Friday of him and Bledsoe working out at the Cleveland Cavaliers facility.

James' comment to his 6.8 million Instagram followers and the Suns was:

"Great work today lil bro @ebled2 (Bledsoe's Instagram account)!! Future All-Star in this league in no time. PHX break bread. #Klutch #Work #GymRats #StriveForGreatness."

The "break bread" reference could be interpreted a few ways but it likely is about sharing money, as in a suggestion that the Suns pay Bledsoe. At the outset of free agency July 1, Bledsoe sought a contract approaching the maximum level ($80 million over five years). He received a four-year, $48 million offer from the Suns and did not sign an offer sheet from another team over more than two months of an open market. "Break bread" could also be a reference to sitting down over a meal to negotiate, something that Bledsoe's camp has not been willing to do much.

Yeah, it will be a mess if that's how it stands. If that is how it pans out, it'll be interesting to see how the Suns handle it.
