“I was certainly surprised by it and disappointed by it,” McDonough said. “I think Eric’s a good person. I think he’s unfortunately gotten some bad advice and is listening to the wrong people. I think generally, any time you sign a contract, it doesn’t only work one way. It works both ways, and for a guy with years on his contract to say or intimate he didn’t want to be here anymore, I didn’t find that to be appropriate, and I think if he says he wants to be a leader, that’s the opposite of what a leader does and the opposite of what leadership is. So I think that’s all I’m going to say about that.”
I find the bolded interesting, coming from a team executive.
Teams and fans call players selfish when they don't take pay cuts or otherwise do things "for the good of the team"... there are literally instances where players found out that they got cut or traded by watching the news and not from the team itself.
So basically, that whole "a contract works two ways" statement represents ownership talking out the side of its neck. Maybe Phoenix didn't do that to Bledsoe, per se, but that contradictory sensibility of many front offices is certainly on display here by the Suns.
In other words, it's never a problem when the team or management wants to do something "for the good of the team", and they rarely EVER have to answer for it. But let a player show any semblance of looking out for themselves they're always chastised as selfish and "not team first".
So yeah, you can criticize the way Bledsoe handled this whole thing, but for this sanctimonious dude to be on some "you should honor your contract" shyt is BOGUS.
fukk these teams in ALL these leagues, get your damn money, nikkas.
depends on how much Cleveland actually wants him, they can make it work
