I get it that everyone (including me) wanted much more in return for Eric Bledsoe but, unlike many, I'm not exactly surprised, shocked and/or upset about the the trade.
Why? Well, even when you throw out the way the trade went down with all the media attention, we weren't just trading Bledsoe. We were also trading Bledsoe's knees and his fairly extensive injury history. Don't fool yourself into thinking that didn't also come into play when other teams were making decisions on what to offer up in trade. Certainly Ryan McDonough's public comments were harmful, just as was Bledsoe's "I Don't wanna be here" tweet, but I’m fairly certain that Bledsoe’s injury history was still probably the biggest factor in other teams’ calculations when they were considering what they were willing to offer for him.
