Royce, if you're on here, plese read this
- Thread starter Messi
- Start date
I doubt the Rockets are too worried about trying to clear Royce's salary. His salary is only a small portion of their roughly 50 million. NBA teams eat bad contract all the time, rookie salaries aren't a problem for them.
They are probably going to see if a team is interested in Royce at all when injuries hit. Might get a second rounder.
I think the Rockets are such a young team that they can't have Royce White anywhere near the team since it will set bad precedent. Anything they do to give him a chance now will be rewarding bad behavior. Unless he goes to the D league and plays well. Not to mention any offers for special travel accomodation must be off the table.
For all we know he has realized he screwed up and the Rockets are saying stay away. He is probably asking for a chance to suit up for games and stuff. As someone said a rookie contract isn't a huge deal to an NBA team. And the Rockets have nothing to gain and will feel like fools if they give him to another team and he toes the line, particularly after how accommodating they were.
I think they have a pretty nice team its a shame he is not a part of it.

Off the Royce bandwagon after this article. Take a look at his Twitter conversation with these two guys

I hope another team gives him a chance this summer once the Rockets part ways with him. At this rate that seems unlikely but there's usually someone willing to take a chance on a guy. It's apparent Royce has little to no interest in playing basketball. That's too bad. Instead of educating a few thousand people on twitter about mental illness he could touch millions. He can't see the big picture of all this, which is sad.

That's a rough read. The two radio guys certainly come off like they're willing to talk, but I respect that they called him out on his approach. He's not doing himself any favors.
Finally gave in and unfollowed him..hard to do but until he is back playing ball i could care less
I think he will get another chance with a team, but he wont have anywhere near the "accommodations" he has now. Teams are going to say "this is the contract, here's where you will play and when, sign it or leave"
I don't know who is more stupid in this whole situation, Royce or the idiots who always tweet at him saying stuff like "I <3 u royce i was sad once so i know what its like! #anxietytroopers." Why people think that they can relate to royce is beyond me, the guy is refusing to do a job he is getting paid millions of dollars to do. The people tweeting at him couldn't do anything even remotely similar at their workplace and not expect to be fired.
Royce, Royce, Royce SMH. I've been tweeting him each day and asking if we will see him play, what exactly he needs the Rockets to do, and what can his supporters do to move things ahead. He won't even tell me #bewell. I don't think we'll ever see him play again. It seems he is hiding behind his illness. He wants to be welcomed as the first round star but isn't willing to do work it seems.
Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo sports reported that White “tried to convince Rockets officials that his anxiety order would be much, much better if they would simply play him in games.”
See, this is the part of it where you don't know what to say b/c the guy is using the threat of his "illness" as leverage to get his way. He probably knows any interview he does he'll get exposed for this. Then again he is definitely a little bit off and not firing on all 6 cylinders. Its awful that it looks like there is no happy ending to this b/c he is such a great player.
Royce is basically ******* himself over here, which is sad because the guy has a lot of potential if he plays his cards right. The longer he stays out, IMO, the less likely he will be playing. I'm sure other teams have taken note long ago and whatever is going on with the Rockets is unfortunate.
I wish he could just get on with it..nothing says you can't play (wherever, D-League or NBA) and raise awareness at the same time still.

The guy asks him a legitimate question and Royce just dodges it by hashtaging his bewell ****. Then he claims that is a sincere response. Seems very childish to me

The original guy's question could easily be construed as snide or a shot, which royce said "#BeWell"..what's so big about that? What is so childish about "#BeWell" If the guy really wanted to know the question, why the **** would he ask Royce White about it? Why wouldn't he get his answer from someone who works in the NBA or the D-League. IMO it was a shot at Royce big time. He could have responded much more child-like and didn't. I'm not defending Royce on his actions, but his response was no more childish than the original guy's question.
