Suns GM: Eric Bledsoe Got Some ‘Bad Advice’

Phoenix Suns GM Ryan McDonough thinks that Eric Bledsoe was given “bad advice” and “is listening to the wrong people.”

In an interview on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM’s Bickley & Marotta, McDonough said that Bledsoe’s recent displeasure with the team “comes from contractual demands made by his representatives” (starting at 6:15):

“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 talked to Eric, met with him a couple times before the season started. He said he was excited about our group. Excited to play with the young guys and thought we had a good thing going here.

 

“I think, just my opinion, the shift comes from contractual demands made by his representatives, and that’s what I was referring to when I said I think he got bad advice.”
