    Any progress is good. I'm glad Royce has decided to go to work.

    Yes!! Thank you Royce! Thank you! He is going to destroy the D-league. He almost has to with all that has happened over these past months.

    Glad this situation is moving forward, but he's sort of soured what good feelings I had for him at the beginning of the season. Hope it works out, but he sounds like a distraction that a young team does not need.

    I don't know if he would even show up or not. But if so, it took this long for Royce to consider doing something. WTH has he been doing this whole entire time? Two months into the season and there are just some reports of him getting assigned to the D-League...? The Rockets assigned him to the D-League before but he didn't want to show up so what difference does it make now?

    I don't know but all this crap with Royce is just a big waste of time to me. He could have just go to practice like everyone else or join the D-League like the Rockets asked him to. There's a lot of things he could have done but chose not to. So far, everything that he's doing is just a waste of time.

    This shouldn't even be news.

    "Royce decides to start cashing his 10K checks and shows up for work."

    I already don't like this turd, even if he is wearing a Rockets jersey.

    He'll add to the fresh legs/sparks comin out with our 2nd unit, at the least. Addition by addition (is that a term?)

    Whats the over/under on playing in how many d league games?

    I say he plays in 1 total before next meltdown. thats assuming he makes it that far. better bet would be 0.

    Is this not the longest ever to d league assignment? I mean Dmo has been called up and sent back and called up since this all started.

    Nothing wrong with dreaming. Poor man LeBron?

    Indeed. He lost all credibility with fans here long ago and a ticking time bomb. My mind is trained to see his one-step-forward-two-steps-back dance from him.

    It blows my mind how people are basically rooting for him to fail. I agree that he has handled his entire stay here wrong, but he is ridiculously talented and can help us in the future. Hopefully he came to his seances, and is ready to work his ass off.

    It's simple, insecurity with something in their own lives. People love to blame others and kick other people when their down, as compensation for being miserable themselves.

    Dare I say it's also a symptom of #anxiety they're showing, pretty ironic.

    I've done it occasionally, we've all done it. It's just said when people don't realize it, and will defend themselves to the point of hurting others.

    I would like an asset has a chance of recovery of value in future rather than write it off.
