Eric Bledsoe trade rumors: Latest news, buzz and rumors surrounding Phoenix Suns star

PHOENIX – The Phoenix Suns have fired coach Earl Watson just three games in to the NBA season.

The Suns announced the firing Sunday night after hours of meetings at the team’s headquarters.

Assistant coach Jay Triano, a former head coach of the Toronto Raptors, was named interim coach.

Meanwhile, the Suns are reportedly looking to move point guard Eric Bledsoe.

“I Dont wanna be here,” point guard Eric Bledsoe tweeted Sunday, just as the news of Watson’s firing surfaced in an ESPN report. The tweet by Bledsoe, a former Clipper, was followed by one from the Clippers’ DeAndre Jordan saying “Come back home bro.”

ABC 15 reports Bledsoe told the Suns his tweet was about being at a hair salon. 

Bledsoe has been rumored in possible trades for months. The Suns GM confirmed that Bledsoe will be dealt, saying "he won't be with us moving forward."

The Milwaukee Bucks are reportedly among the teams interested in trading for want-away Phoenix Suns guard Eric Bledsoe, according to Marc Stein of  The New York Times.

Watson's dismissal is the first NBA coaching change in well over a year. Hornacek's hiring by the New York Knicks, which was finalized in June 2016, had been the most recent change — and the irony there is that Watson got the job in Phoenix with 33 games left in the 2015-16 season, after the Suns fired Hornacek.

Watson was the league's second-youngest active coach behind the Lakers' Luke Walton, and the Suns were tied with the Chicago Bulls as having the youngest opening-night roster in the NBA this season.

"I'd like to see the fight be a little bit more," Watson said after the blowout loss to the Clippers. "Or a lot more, until you know they're just fatigued." The Suns came into this season with only four losses by 40 or more points in franchise history. They've had two in the first three games of this season.

Phoenix has not made the playoffs in seven years, the longest drought in the franchise's 49-year history. The 59-year-old Triano, the only Canadian-born head coach in NBA history, was 87-142 with Toronto from 2008-2011. He was an assistant at Portland before coming to Phoenix last year.

Watson was the 17th Suns coach in the franchise's history. This was the first NBA season where every coach who started one year had the same job to begin the next.
