Eric Bledsoe could be on his way out of Phoenix like he hoped.

According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, the Suns are finalizing a deal to send the veteran point guard to the Bucks. According to the report, the Suns would get Greg Monroe and a first-round pick in return.

Bledsoe had requested a trade after playing in Phoenix's first three games, but hasn't been with the team since. He reportedly requested a trade earlier in the preseason as well, though it was denied.

Suns general manager Ryan McDonough confirmed Monday that the NBA fined Bledsoe $10,000 for tweeting "I don’t wanna be here" on Oct. 23 after an 0-3 start to the season. Bledsoe was expected to return to the team early this week, but will likely make his way to Milwaukee instead.

Bledsoe, 27, is averaging 15.7 points and three assists in three games this season.
