The Suns Point Guard tweeted out “I Don’t Wanna Be Here” Sunday afternoon. This could be taken way out of context but with everything going on in Phoenix recently it appears he wants to be on another team.

It was then reported locally by John Gambadoro that Bledsoe went to the team before the start of the season and expressed a desire to be traded.

After spending 2010-2013 in LA as a member of the Clippers backing up now Houston Rockets PG Chris Paul, Bledsoe has been a Sun since the 2013-14 season after the team traded for him to give him the ball and make him the play maker.

In purple and orange, he has put up very respectable averages of 18.8 points 6 assists 4.8 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game. This includes breaking out last season for 21.1 points 6.3 assists 4.8 rebounds and 1.4 steals.

He is a solid starting point guard, easily in the top half of the Association, and would make many teams better by suiting up for them. His contract is also very reasonable, especially with all these monster deals being handed out.

What are some possible deals? Well, you are in luck. I’ve played with ESPN’s Trade Machine and came up with 10 trade ideas that I think would be great for all sides.

Note: some of these trades cannot happen immediately because a player was drafted in 2017 or acquired too late in the summer to be traded immediately and thus have to wait to be moved. If Eric Bledsoe remains patient, he might be stuck here’s until at least December if one of these trades are of interest to Ryan McDonough and the Suns.
