Oh wow. From his twitter, today? I bet he deletes that. Pretty amazing and blunt. We have to trade the guy. Should have done it this summer.

Wow. I don't blame him a bit for wanting out, but that tweet is tactless.

Just minutes ago. Breaking news!

Somebody screenshot it, in case he does delete it.

Agreed. Maybe he has already told management. His play indicates that he has. Maybe it's not moving fast enough and he's trying to push it along. Still, like you said, tactless.

Done. I went and "liked" it too because I don't want him here either.

BTW, when I search Twitter for Bleds, Twitter tries to auto-complete it to "Eric Bolling."

It's already got 6580 retweets. Kind of hard to hide now.

SI has picked it up. https://www.si.com/nba/2017/10/22/eric- ... oenix-suns

Just because they are losing by 40+ points regularly doesn't mean you should just quit.

Especially when you're part of the problem.

I don't know the man, but that tweet doesn't seem to be his style.

Absolutely. His lackadaisical play on the court is even more inappropriate than the tweet.

I'll be interested to hear what he has to say when quizzed about it. It's somewhat possible he means he doesn't want to be losing like this and wants to help lead Suns out of this dark place. But that is a looooooooong bow to draw.
I wonder who'll be left after trade deadline

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

His lackadaisical play definitely has a ton to with how poorly we are playing. I wonder if he just mentally checked out and became depressed or no longer wanting to be on the team when they sat him while healthy last season, negating any potential for growth and limited success. He tried to appear to be all in on the team this offseason but maybe he see's things in practice we'll never see, like a clueless coach and no direction. I don't think Eric Bledsoe woke up this weekend or even last weekend feeling checked out from this team and organization. I think it's built up for some time and bubbled over into his Twitter. As the veteran and leader, it's unfortunate. We saw the same thing happen with Dragic when he was here when he forced a trade. He just didn't have any heart left for the organization at the time. Rinse, wash, repeat.

This really hurts our trade leverage. On the other hand, he should have been traded long ago so that's on McDonough.

And the 'wanna'!

His play indicates a similar message. Just move on from him. Send him to Milwaukee for Brogdon/1st or Denver for Mudiay/1st and call it good. Send Chandler out as well and just turn the team completely over to Booker/Jackson and see if any of our other young guys are worth keeping around. Add a top 5 pick next year and go from there.
