So turns out Lebron James and Rich Paul has something to do with Eric Bledsoe wanting out of Phoenix

[Bledswole]

Some of these dudes would blame lebron for cancer if they thought they could get away with it.

Prolly would.
But he got a hand in this one IMO

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.

repped for this real shyt

I dont know how silver allows lebron to be an owner of an agency.

The "why don't the White masters keep these Black men in their place" posts are always comedy.

What is it with this stigma/myth that Bron has all this power? LeCoah, LeGM, LeAgent? What's next? LeCommissioner?

We already been there. Remember those claims 3-4 years back that Bron determined the design and institution of the NBA's drug-testing policy?

LeOwner

Already happened pretty much, like in that Kyrie's dad thread.

Some of these dudes would blame lebron for cancer if they thought they could get away with it.

They've already saddled him with responsibility for police brutality in Cleveland.

NBA contracts are guaranteed so this makes no sense.
