Brooklyn Nets veteran Jared Dudley, who had two stints with the Phoenix Suns (2009 to 2013 and 2016 to 2018), said that the organization did not possess a great structure which led to them messing everything up.

On Twitter, Dudley reacted to an article which detailed his experience with the Suns — particularly in his second stint where he was inserted into the lineup despite not being 100 percent healthy. As expected, this led to a poor showing from him. Phoenix seemed to lay the blame on him for not giving them the three-year, $30 million value that they expected.

But given the circumstance, it seems like the Suns are to blame. For Dudley, the team's move of playing him despite not being completely healthy was a sign of poor player management. Moreover, from his point of view, the Suns gave the keys to the younger players without them working hard for it.

The good thing for the 33-year-old veteran is that he was shipped to the Brooklyn Nets in the summer of 2018. His toe finally healed which resulted in efficient minutes from the California native. His veteran voice became crucial in the playoffs, especially for the young stars like D'Angelo Russell and Spencer Dinwiddie.

Jared Dudley, a free agent this summer, has a choice whether to stay or not with the rising Nets squad. Rumor has it that he might jump ship to a contender team. Wherever he signs though, he'll certainly be an asset worth every penny.
