Phoenix Suns General Manager Ryan McDonough had some not-so-nice things to say about his team’s unhappy point guard and that point guard’s agent. The following quotes come from ESPN’s Chris Haynes:
On Bledsoe’s tweet, which read “I don’t want to be here:”
“I was certainly surprised by it and disappointed by it. I think Eric’s a good person. I think he’s unfortunately gotten some bad advice and is listening to the wrong people. I think generally, any time you sign a contract, it doesn’t only work one way. It works both ways, and for a guy with years on his contract to say or intimate he didn’t want to be here anymore, I didn’t find that to be appropriate, and I think if he says he wants to be a leader, that’s the opposite of what a leader does and the opposite of what leadership is. So I think that’s all I’m going to say about that.”
This appears to be a thinly veiled shot at Bledsoe’s agent Rich Paul.
Bledsoe reportedly met with McDonough and Suns owner, which resulted in Bledsoe requesting a trade and being sent home.
