    If that is true, they still got academic stuff to do. This is not like they are full pro and play 70-80 games a year.

    Not a fan

    I think it's funny that Royce White's agent said that, when 29 teams come calling, that they will give the Clippers the first dibs. It's nice he is so confident that 29 teams will come calling.

    Lol problem with this guy is not really his attitude.

    But he sucks. Like...he's a bad player. He was an average player IN THE NBDL. If he had talent teams would be more willing to take chances on him, see...Anthony Randolph. Who while I'm not even sure what team he plays on, he at least had enough talent to keep teams intrigued.

    Fact is Royce is a player that can't shoot or really score. In college he was able to get by because of always being a mismatch. Being bigger and stronger than guys with a decent handle. Well in the NBA defenders are much better, as a Point Forward you need more than a decent handle and at least some kind of threat to score.

    I doubt he ever is a mainstay in this league. He's not nearly good enough for the headache.

    I pointed out his lack of scoring and blocking ability when he was drafted.

    Terrence and Lamb were much better from the beginning, both dominating the Summer League

    While White was only an inconsistent guest player who showed flashes that he might be a marginal player at best

    And he ruined by getting ejected 4 times out of 5

    Yeah this will end well.

    -Royce is willing to fly
    -applauding team for its willingness to support Royce's issues
    ....
    ...
    ...

    -Royce thinks he's a guard
    -Royce is benched because he thinks he's a guard
    -Royce doesn't agree with mental health plan
    -Royce refuses to join team flight
    -Royce gets on a bus
    -Royce rants on social media about the injustice he's taken and the injustice to the world
    -Royce compares himself to Gandhi
    -Royce goes on Dr. Phil
    -Royce is out of the NBA again & broke as a joke

    As far as I'm concerned, that ship has sailed! He's been nothing short of a thorn in the gluteus maximus (pain in the butt) since he entered the league. I know he supposedly has anxiety issues, but his issues keep sabotaging the plans of every team he's been a part of, mainly the Rockets!...:mad:

    We totally wasted a #1 pick on him! I know that Morey is partially to blame for not being more diligent in finding out what was/is White's true psyche before drafting him, BUT, White willingly misled the Rockets from the get go! He's nothing more than a con artist in my opinion! I hope he gets help with his anxiety, but nothing will ever bring back that pick or the money that was wasted on him! Do I want him to succeed? (Crickets loudly chirping)...:eek:

    Hardly what one would call a flying start.

    No, thanks. He'd have an anxiety attack in the suit and scare the children.

    Don't be dissing Clutch the Bear like that! White couldn't even be a 3rd string Clutch the Bear.

    White has 4 TOVs in < 21 minutes in two games. Got benched less than 2 minutes into the 3rd quarter.

    he's on the Clipper's summer team? he's averaging 0 pts and 1 reb per game? Man, This is definitely NOT a comeback. This is much more of a go back, as in go back home.

    It is a comeback, he came back and plays the exact same way he did before.
