    Don't the guys currently on the Rox Roster get a certain amount of minutes because they have a contract? I'm certain it's more than 24, so, this would mean we get to see Royce and TJ on the court at the same time?

    I am rooting for him. People hold out for all sorts of reasons - mostly for more money. It's not that uncommon - used to be more common.

    I think people expect Royce White to live and act on their terms, when it's clear that's never going to be the case.

    In a way, I'm pulling for Royce White as well, not because i care about him at all. It's because Royce White's long term success in the NBA is the ONLY thing that is going to get all of those college kids struggling with mental illness off the Royce White blacklist. Royce has done a ridiculous amount of harm to them before ever stepping foot on the court in the NBA

    And even if White doesn't contribute with big numbers for us, he can still contribute by wearing people out with his strength and bringing some toughness. Remember when Derek Fisher laid out Scola? Or when Kevin Love stepped on Scola? Or when (Josh Howard I think?) tripped Yao Ming on purpose? White wouldn't let anyone punk one of his teammates.

    Most anticipated and most watched game in NBDL history? Certainly in Vipers history. :grin:

    People hold out BEFORE they sign a contract.

    I'm hoping Royce planned this whole publicity stunt ever since the Grantland video, and now that he's milked the victim status for all it's worth and called attention to his crusade, he will just get to work.

    Since he hasn't actually been with the team there probably hasn't been any ill will built up.
