    Personally I would like to know the specific matters Royce is talking about when he says that the Rockets have not been proactive enough.

    He may be expecting too much of the Rockets organization or maybe he is right to complain. Hard to say without knowing more.

    Out of curiosity, if his contract is ever voided, can he be simply picked up by another team? That's a loophole, if ever.

    Well I wish he would stop being cryptic and just come out and say what the problem is. It's not like he hasn't blown up the organization's spot already by releasing that statement earlier. And I also hope he wrong about the organization not being responsive to his health concerns. That's where this could really get ugly.

    As much as I want to support Royce and am sympathetic to his mental illness..


    Starting to think this is situation is more a Royce White issues than a mental health issue...

    McHale is screaming at Hoidberg right now.

    Hope he realizes that just because he can weasel his way out of the Rockets doesn't mean someone else will snatch him up.

    Rockets had the MOST invested in him. No other team will give in to his demands.

    So now he's back to saying the anxiety isn't the problem.

    Then WTF is the problem??

    End of story, I am afraid. He will be cut soon. We won't be able to get even a low second rounder for him. I never felt he was good enough for the 16th pick. I felt he was good enough as a 20th pick, and would fit in eventually.

    This guy needs a better publicist. He's complaining publicly on Twitter about his employer. That's bad form, Royce.

    Royce may be the last thing on McHale's mind given his daughter's illness. In Royce's mind Royce seems to come first for better or worse.
