    I don't understand what white wants from the rockets. Can someone explain to me what this guy wants exactly. I went to this twitter page is just full blown in r****d mode. The guy is an idiot.

    Someone give me a transcript of something that explains to me what he wants in his own words.

    I have never seen anything like this before in the NBA.

    What is unsafe about the d-league? Has he ever said specifically? I would think it's a nice, safe place to develop your skills.

    @Jonathan_Feigen I know 50% of all unpaid salary due to LEAGUE suspensions gets wiped off the cap, but not so sure about TEAM suspensions.

    LOL!! Man you said it perfectly! Thank you! This guy thinks he is a lawyer by never stating details just making broad generalized allegations that no one understands. Hopefully the Rockets get every dime back and then as someone else said, sue him for slander and win cleaning his bank account for the next 20 years! That right there would make my year and hopefully help to turn the legal tide against all these people falsifying issues to not due their job and get paid for nothing.

    God given opportunity

    Some people never appreciate what God given opportunity until they loose it. I remembered Mike Harris how many 10 days contract that we gave him but he never made to the team and the guy has talent. I feel sorry for White since he does not know how to appreciate that.

    To the best of my understanding, this is what he is saying...

    His doctors have provided a protocol for him to follow and D-League deviates from that. Morey disagrees and this is where he says that our GM is not qualified to make medical decisions on his behalf. He is viewing the intent to send him to the D-League as a medical decision rather than a GM's.

    Lol, I can't believe he tweeted this to Morey. **** is going to hit the fan, if it hasn't already - people are going to get sued.

    Morey doesn't always draft head cases, but when he does, he hits a freaking home run.

    Or anywhere. Never has there been such a combination of a megalomaniac with a very noble unappreciated cause on an internet medium combating the whole world. It's awkward.
