    his plan is in motion. now he can just sit back and RT supportive comments about mental illness. this is a sly move to bombard the rockets w/ pressure. positive word barrage. he's just weaving a blanket to protect himself in a very passive-aggressive way.

    Or anyone uniform. Unfortunately with this unbelievable Twitter rant he's made himself a pariah.

    I don't have the issues White has. I don't believe anyone should judge White unless they've dealt with the issues White has. It sounds like he's got some legitimate mental health issues that might interfere with decision making, and ability to perform his job.

    I don't know that excuses everything White's done or not. I do believe that the Rockets should try and work with White to get him to the D-League. I wish Royce would see the Rockets doctors and have a successful enough result to go to work and do his job.

    I have a feeling he will sue the rockets if we waive him or cut him.

    Les said nothing that through Royce under the bus. He said if it didn't work out he would be sad for Royce and the Team.

    Kid has issues.

    This is the beginning of the end of his NBA career.

    Nick Anderson had an anxiety attack.

    He was never the same again and eventually left the league.

    Its important to tweet to lend #Transparency and RT to reveal ignorance. I do understand being scared of being vocal tho, just not who I am.

    Sometimes you can flip your assets, and sometimes they flip out on you before you're ready.

    Thanks. I'll be here all week.

    I can't see, in any way, how that's anything but negative.

    He took it to public and blamed the organisation for not giving him playing time?

    Oh wait

    Still preferred Zeller then, and guess it would be a no brainer now.

    His tweets will be very interesting when the team eventually has to suspend him.

    they aren't making a big deal. As far as I understand, the team even kept it inside for a couple days, until the media started asking questions when they couldn't find White after practice.
