What is happening to the Phoenix Suns? After three abysmal performances, which led to Earl Watson and his player development staff of Mehmet Okur and Jason Fraser losing their jobs, Eric Bledsoe seems finally fed up with the dysfunction.
According to Arizona Sports’ John Gambadoro, Bledsoe was sent home prior to Monday’s shootaround. Bledsoe mentioned to Gambadoro that he believes Saturday was his last in a Suns uniform.
Eric Bledsoe was sent home by GM Ryan McDonough today and will not play tonight.

There are a few teams aggressively pursing Bledsoe at this point and a trade seems highly likely.

There is no deal in place yet but teams know he is available and something should happen very soon.

Bledsoe wants to go to a team that can contend. At this point in his career he wants to help a team contend for a championship.

Said he did everything the organization asked him to do, loves the Suns and the fans but realizes its time to part ways.

Does not believe this is a one-game go home situation. Believes he has played his last game for the Phoenix Suns.

Only three games in, we have seen the head coach fired and their leader request a trade via Twitter.
Will the dysfunction in Phoenix keep going in circles or will there be a resolution? For management, they have to hope this roster does not crumble under such circumstances.
Right now, all of their developments are in limbo, which is scary to say this early on.
