To Royce's credit, he did outlast Mike Brown.

release this dude and eat his 2.5 million 2 yr deal

I guess what is most disconcerting is that Daryl Morey releases a statement saying the Rockets support and will continue to support Royce while dealing with his condition.

Royce releases a statement throwing the team under the buss.

Things I know:

1) no way do the rockets release him. It would reflect poorly on the organization, and he's at his absolute lowest value right now.

2) The Rockets will ban him from Twitter.

For his own sake, I hope he realizes the difference between his thoughts and the public perception of his thoughts.

Looks that way. It's called wrongful termination.

It could also seem that he's hinting the Rox org is making his disorder worse by not treating him like a human being. Negative workplace enviroment.

Maybe Royce has a secret twin, and he's the one who's been attending shootarounds and traveling with the team while the other one shames himself on Twitter.

Will this be more or less awkward than the Derek Fisher situation?

You wouldn't show up for work everyday if illness prevented you from doing so.

Translation:

Even though I showed up to TC late and out of shape, I dont want to play in the minors. I'm too good for that crap. I'll use my mental illness to force the Rockets to give me my way. Childish really

Like he cant he cant continue his treatment in Rio Grande
