Bledsoe thanks Suns fans, defends integrity: 'I've never been a liar'
With Eric Bledsoe's time in the desert officially coming to an end with his trade to the Milwaukee Bucks, the ex-Phoenix Suns guard issued a message of thanks to those that helped him along the way - and defended his integrity.
"Man, it has been a long couple of weeks," Bledsoe began a video from the Uninterrupted. "I want to start by saying I've never been a liar."

It's unclear to what Bledsoe is specifically referring. It's possible the 27-year-old was responding to allegations made by Suns general manager Ryan McDonough, who disputed Bledsoe's claim he was at a hair salon when he cryptically tweeted "I don't wanna be here" on Oct. 22.
Bledsoe continued his message by thanking the city, fans, teammates, and basketball operations staff for his time in Phoenix.
"On the other hand, I'm extremely excited to be a Milwaukee Buck," Bledsoe said.
