One tweet from a disgruntled Eric Bledsoe three games into his fifth season in Phoenix changed the fortunes of the Suns’ backcourt not only for the 2017-18 season, but also long-term.
Since this moment that led to a war of words through the media between former GM Ryan McDonough and Bledsoe’s agent, Rich Paul of Klutch Sports, many things around the organization have been changed. Less than a year later, McDonough was fired and replaced by James Jones. But the bigger picture here is the carnage that Bledsoe left behind with his sudden departure.
