    What a waste of a pick. I still don't know if it's on Morey or McHale. I heard McHale really wanted him despite his known issues. Epic fail by both overall on pick no 16.

    Or was it drafting busty Morris over Kawhi? Or scrubby Dorsey over Deandre Jordan?

    Biggest difference between him and Sanders is that Sanders quit on his own terms. If Sanders wanted to play someone would pick him up.

    White has always wanted to play but he's not good enough to play at the NBA level. He even tried to use his mental disability to get playing time...

    Hey, Hassan Whiteside changed his attitude and now he is in the NBA. Who says Royce can't do the same?

    Royce was such a huuuuge disappointment. He is the same size as Dorsey but much more talented, could have been the first point center in NBA. Kid has so much BB IQ as well, too bad his BS IQ overtook everything else. Not denying he has mental health issues, but he was trying to leverage that instead of surmounting it.

    I wonder how directly related Royce White's public ****-throwing campaign against the Rockets during his season here is with the big increase in negative perception of the Rockets.

    I know people hate Dwight, but like... before we got dwight, he was already making us a heel.

    He can.

    But does anyone on this earth think that Royce/Alexander has the fortitude to try out, play for, and get cut by 9 teams (half of those on the other side of the world) to prove himself worthy of another opportunity???

    The NBA is a pretty small fraternity. Sure anyone can be welcomed back in, but its not easy once you burn nearly every bridge you've come across not just with the GM's and coaches, but also with the players, and league officials who he made an embarrassment of in his time allowed in the league.

    Sure there is a chance, but we are talking about building the Great Wall of China to re-bridge that gap... not just putting a couple planks out there and expecting to receive open arms on the other side.

    Anyone who has dealt with severe anxiety and even agoraphobia knows that what Royce has/had was different than that. Besides, the best way to combat severe anxiety is to change your behavior and your patterns of thought through acceptance and encouragement.

    That is not going to happen through isolation or trying to change the behavior of everyone else around you. Nor is it going to change if all of your eccentricities are validated and even accomodated by a quack doctor AND your employer.

    If the whole premise of his 'illness' doesn't add up, it's impossible to accept the way that he strong-armed entire NBA front-offices and made himself out to be a martyr for a misguided cause.

    He is a head case all on his own. Best of luck in getting his demons sorted out.

    It's admirable that he's out to rob another NBA franchise, we'll see if the league has learned their lesson when it comes to paying people like Royce.
