How many other Suns also don’t want to be at the salon?

On Sunday, amid Earl Watson getting fired as coach, Eric Bledsoe tweeted “I don’t wanna be here.” He talked to the Suns’ front office about that tweet shortly afterward. He claimed to have been talking about being at a salon, not on his imploding basketball team.

Suns general manager Ryan McDonough did not believe that hilarious excuse, so he sent Bledsoe home while the team looks to trade him.

Here are five potential destinations for Bledsoe. Devin Booker seems a bit jaded about the Watson decision, which is worth watching. I wrote about how the Suns’ problems go all the way up to Robert Sarver, who owns the franchise. The Suns later beat the Kings for their first win of the season. The Dead Coach Bounce is a strong force in the NBA.

Shout out to the Suns for being interesting, at the very least, while they tank.

We have some saltiness. I repeat, we have some saltiness. The Warriors were (predictably) trouncing the Mavericks late on Monday. Dubs rookie Jordan Bell got into the open court in the closing moments. He decided to...alley-oop himself off the backboard. It was glorious! It was also plainly disrespectful to the point where Rick Carlisle blew off Steve Kerr after the game. Sheesh.

Draymond Green was also in rare form against the Mavericks, clowning Dennis Smith Jr.

Nice piece by Jared Dubin on how the Jazz are changing their style.

Nikola Jokic picked up a foolish technical foul in a close game against Washington because he bumped Scott Brooks, seemingly in frustration. It turns out Brooks flopped pretty good. Can coaches flop? I guess so!

Wait, wait, wait...Andre Drummond is making free throws now?!

What if Giannis Antetokounmpo never needs a jumper?

An important investigation into De’Aaron Fox’s Vegeta-like borrowing of Goku’s catchphrase.

Ben Simmons had a triple-double in his fourth game! The Sixers got a win in their fourth game! I feel a parade coming on... (But seriously, when the Sixers look good, they look really good.)

Something’s happening in San Antonio. The team is 3-0 without Kawhi Leonard, and with LaMarcus Aldridge getting fiery and Dejounte Murray taking a leadership role (and also balling out). Come on guys, you’re hurting Kawhi’s MVP case!

Dwyane Wade requested to start coming off the bench, and Tyronn Lue agreed because, well, duh. It should have been that way all along.

Shout out to the undefeated Grizzlies.

When people in the NBA get fired, they usually show grace, even if it’s faked. Not Mehmet Okur. He got fired by the Suns too and peaced out from the NBA with a legendary Eff You Instagram.

Stephanie Ready is no longer an analyst for the Hornets — she’s been moved back to sideline duties. This is absurd.

Metta World Peace is now a G League assistant coach.

Tuesday features six games, including two on NBA TV: Bulls-Cavaliers at 7 p.m. ET and Pelicans-Blazers at 10. The best League Pass exclusive is Jazz-Clippers at 10:30. Full schedule here.

Be excellent to each other.
