Suns Trade Eric Bledsoe To Bucks For Greg Monroe, Draft Picks

Bledsoe had been fined $10,000 for demanding a trade over Twitter.

Apparently the squeaky wheel does get the grease. Eric Bledsoe, just weeks after taking to Twitter to demand that the Phoenix Suns trade him, has gotten his wish.

The disgruntled point guard, who has only played three games this season and was fined $10,000 for his Twitter demand, is headed to the Milwaukee Bucks.

In return, the Suns get center Greg Monroe and two draft picks.

Monroe is also in his eighth season. He's averaged 14 points and 8.7 rebounds per game.

Bledsoe made headlines last month when he took to Twitter to say, "I DOn't anna be here."

While he later said it was a reference to being at a hair salon with his wife, the NBA fined him $10,000.
