Did Devin Booker say I wish I could have gone with him (referring to Bledsoe) on the tail end of the McDonough interview?

It came near the end of the 1:46 mark of the video.

I'm not sure if I heard it correctly, not that it means anything. I think Booker was trying to be complimentary.

I think he was saying: I wish I could have got it with him.

Because he was talking about winning a championship and building a great team. I think Booker was just saying he wish they coulda done that here, together.

Good. I prefer your hearing to mine.

How about this for a coincidence. A poster on Phx-Suns.net posted this yesterday at 2:30 pm. Next thing you know, Bled is telling this story to McD. What are the chances that Bled and some poster came up with the same lie/excuse. The DUDE GOT HIS EXCUSE COVER UP OFF OF A MESSAGE BOARD!!!!

So. On the radio. McD just gave this explanation.

Earlier this month, Bledsoe's agent demanded a max extension. McD responded that they did not think they wanted to do that right now but would consider it next summer. His agent did not like that answer and from that point on shut down all communication. The next thing was Bledsoe's tweet. He reiterated that he thought Eric is getting bad advice.

There you have it. Its not about sitting last year. Its not about the bad team. Its about Bledsoe wanting a max extension now (do any of you think he should get one) and forcing his way out if he does not get one. All this even though he still has two years left on his deal.

Good find JC.

No way is Bledsoe is worth a max extension. The Suns should have moved on earlier.

I guess they were trying to do something before the Booker extension. LOL

Again... the fact that McD didn't see this coming is mind-boggling to me.

See what coming. Eric demanding a max extension two years into his deal? Rich Paul shutting mgmt out of everything? Eric dogging it and then tweeting he wants out.

He was actively trying to move Eric, but preseason is a tough time to do it. Do you mean he should have seen it last year?

I mean he should have done it during the draft/off-season and yes... when players are eligible for extensions, it shouldn't shock the GM they're going to try and get one.

A max extension, and pouting and asking for a trade because he did not get it though?
