Phoenix Suns guard Eric Bledsoe has made it clear that he wants out of dodge. It’s forced the team to pretty much suspend Bledsoe, who has now missed each of the past four games due to disciplinary reasons.
It goes without saying that Phoenix is doing whatever it can to trade the malcontent. Though, potentially due to the team’s trade demands, nothing has come to fruition of yet.
Now comes this report from Marc Stein indicating that the Detroit Pistons are the latest team to show interest in Bledsoe.
League sources say Detroit should be added to the list of teams showing interest in Eric Bledsoe, but any deal would surely depend (CONT')

The New York Times scribe went on to indicative that any deal sending Bledsoe to Detroit would include fellow guard Reggie Jackson and some change.
Bledsoe, 27, averaged 21.1 points and 6.3 assists per game last season. He’s seen as a starter-caliber point guard and would normally be in high demand on the trade block. But with the most-recent drama surrounding the former first-round pick, it remains to be seen if a trade will come to fruition.
For their part, the Pistons are a surprising 5-3 on the season. They could definitely use a player of Bledsoe’s ilk to help earn a surprise playoff appearance this season.
