    Stylistically for Woj, this is the case. But, if you have been reading Royce's tweets, he has been taking this to a pretty high level of drama so Woj is not too far off in my opinion.

    D-league is the best place for him. Regular playing time, bus trips, out of the spotlight, yet still making more than Parsons. Nice gig if you can get it, hope he can see that.

    The article makes me feel bad for White.

    Hope he turns it around.

    Well i see another self entitled loser demanding everyone cater to him instead of himself trying to work thru the issue.

    WTF, if anyone else did that at their respective place of work, they'd lose their jobs. What is he, the next MJ?

    He will be outta of the league within a year and then fail at life. Real disorder or not, I don't have an ounce of sympathy for individuals like this.

    The article actually makes he dislike him more than I already do. Seems like the team as gone above and beyond to help him and he just wants more.

    I'm guessing he met Dr. Fink.

    Good stuff. If the Rockets really believe he's a top 5 talent from the draft, then that explains their extreme patience.

    I think he was a top 5 talent too. But I think what will be his undoing with the Rockets is the discord he will cause in the lockerroom. Even if he and the managemnt work something out, the rest of the team probably won't be cool with his special treatment/antics.

    If he was so much more comfortable last year at Iowa State wouldn't a D-league assignment be pretty much the same experience as college hoops? Buses, star of the team, shiitty hotels, etc. Only this time he is making millions

    Royce is narcissistic beyond belief. The Rockets have totally bent over backwards for him, yet he just seems totally ungrateful. He called the Rockets “low” on Twitter, but using his anxiety disorder as a manipulation tool to get playing time is the REAL definition of low.

    I’m glad he’s starting to fulfill some of his obligations to the Rockets, but I still remain really skeptical of this ever working out. His personality issues just seem way too deep for this to ever become a healthy, workable relationship between him and the team.

    Stop hating rookie. Morey knew damn well about this. Its why he fell to 16 and probably WAY farther if Morey didn't pick him. Its a gamble. THE WHOLE LOTTERY IS A GAMBLE. If you don't like it you trade your pick for a player.f you feel RW is a lost cause, then you lost that lottery gamble and GTFOver it. Move on. Stop the damn whining posting. All of you, shiet.

    doesn't really matter at this point. They already drafted him.Top 5 or top 25, the pick has been used and they have to make the best of it, as long as they can. It's better than literally throwing the pick away.

    i didnt know that the team is providing for his rv service and paying for it. Nor did I know that the rockets sent a car to pick him up to go to Training camp and arranged an alternate mode of transport, he just didnt want to go in.

    Yup.

    If we want this situation to improve we have to focus on the positives, and stop dwelling on the negatives.
