Suns GM Ryan McDonough: Eric Bledsoe hair-salon claim about tweet was unbelievable

Eric Bledsoe reportedly requested a trade from the Suns before the season then tweeted yesterday:

I Dont wanna be here

— Eric Bledsoe (@EBled2) October 22, 2017

Clear message?

Apparently not.

After sending home Bledsoe today, Suns general manager Ryan McDonough explained his rationale:

McDonough RE: Bledsoe's tweet: "He said he was at a hair salon… I didn't believe that to be true. He won't be with us going forward."

The hair salon! What a wonderful excuse.

Is it true? I’m not going to call Bledsoe a liar. It might be.

It’s also probably true that Bledsoe isn’t long for Phoenix.
