Getting Monroe in return for Bledsoe after banishing the latter and seemingly throwing away any leverage does put the Suns' front office ahead of the Bulls' and Knicks' brass, but all the players leaving with bad blood does indicate a toxic and dysfunctional culture all the same.

While not old, in fact primed age, they are sitting behind younger developing assets. If management thinks that these guys have hit their ceiling, and that they are not immediate contenders, guys like Monroe and Faried can be the odd man out.
Not because they are not good big men, or average big man, but because they are literally the odd man out because they are no longer developing pieces.
I think that Monroe and Faried are still quality players at the Power Forward position, I think they are just the odd men out.
