Eric Bledsoe caused quite a stir on Sunday when he tweeted a message which many believed was about how he feels still being with the Phoenix Suns, especially after they started the season with a 0-3 win-loss slate.
It's no secret that the team has been rumored to be looking to trade him since last season, but has failed to find a partner willing to take on his contract and secure his services. With the post he made on Twitter, it has gotten the attention of many, as they immediately reacted, and made their thoughts known about it. There are different takes on it as well, with some calling for him to join the teams they are rooting for, while others are waiting for more details to emerge first, and do not want to assume that it was his way of requesting a trade from the Suns.
Lonzo could always use a backup

Not sure what this means but let's see what Bled says tomorrow. Tweets sometimes can be taken out of context

There are some fans who supported Bledsoe, and made him know that they can't blame him for wanting to be out of Phoenix, as they do not have a strong chance of making it to the playoffs this year.

I don't blame him but I can't believe he just straight up tweeted it. He gone.

Some replies Bledsoe received were just simply hilarious though.

Eric you’re not supposed to tweet while you’re at church

It remains to be seen which team the 27-year-old Kentucky product will play for next, should the tweet be meant to be interpreted that way. However, with the recent report that head coach Earl Watson has been fired, it's also possible that he could decide stay in Phoenix first to find out if the new system they'll have in place could change their fortunes, and could benefit him more.
