“I don’t wanna be here.”

It’s been a tumultuous week in Phoenix since Eric Bledsoe tweeted those words Sunday night.

Bledsoe was sent home Monday from practice, a day after the Suns dismissed coach Earl Watson and replaced him on an interim basis with Jay Triano.

In an interview on Arizona Sports Radio 98.7 on Tuesday, Suns general manager Ryan McDonough elaborated on the situation, blaming Bledsoe’s representatives for the advice he’s been receiving.

“I was certainly surprised by it and disappointed by it,” McDonough said. “I think Eric’s a good person and I think he’s unfortunately gotten some bad advice and is listening to the wrong people.”

“Generally, anytime you sign a contract it doesn’t only work one way, it works both ways. For a guy with years on his contract to say or intimate that he didn’t want to be here anymore — I didn’t find that to be appropriate.

“He says he wants to be a leader — that’s the opposite of what a leader does and the opposite of what leadership is.”

Bledsoe’s agent is Rich Paul, who also represents LeBron James, John Wall and rookie Ben Simmons.

Bledsoe’s contract with the Suns does not expire until after next season, and he reportedly told the team during the offseason that he does not want to be part of a rebuilding project.
