Eric Bledsoe on his trade to Milwaukee: It was time for me to move on

Eric Bledsoe spoke with ESPN about his trade to the Bucks.
The guard said that it was the right time for him to leave the Suns.

Per ESPN, "It means a lot to me," Bledsoe, 27, told ESPN in a phone interview on Tuesday. "I'm in my prime and headed to a competitive situation in the Eastern Conference. This is a great time for me and my family. We're looking forward to getting started in Milwaukee. I had a great time in Phoenix, but I'm excited for what's next."

"I felt like with where the team was headed, it was time for me to move on," he said. "They've got an amazing, young, talented team, and I feel like it was time for me to find a better situation for my career. It had nothing to do with anything the Suns had going on. I made the decision that this was best for me."

"I felt like it was time [to leave], especially when they sat me down last year," Bledsoe said. "It gave me a better picture, a more clearer picture of what I needed to do."
At the time, word trickled out that he was dealing with "knee soreness," possibly to justify shutting him down.
"I was 100 percent healthy then, and I'm 100 percent healthy now," Bledsoe said adamantly.
