Fans having his back is meaningless essentially. Most people, if they see peers making more than them, especially if you are better than your higher paid peers, would be ticked off at what is seen as a low ball offer.
If you were Bledsoe, you would be happy getting $30 mil less than Parsons or Hayward since you know the fans have your back? They may play a more scarce position, but almost anyone would feel screwed over seeing what they received and what he is being offered. Those teams may have overpaid but that is the current market a player sees..
He has every right to be ticked off that he ended up in this situation. However, he should be ticked off at his **** agent for not going out there and getting him a max deal when he had the chance. Hayward and parsons had agents who did that and set the market for their players that way. Rich Paul jerked it with Lebron until bledsoes market dried out. The suns are the only ones who offered him anything. It might be lower than what he had hoped for but most reports have GMs feeling the offer is fair. If anything Bledsoe should be upset at his agent and his own injury history which unfortunately is out of his control but still a major issue.
And I agree what the fans think of him is irrelevant, im sure he has bigger problems right now than what the fans think of him when his financial security is on the line if his agent pressures him into the QO
