    We'll see if he reports. Then we have to see if he actually practices. After that we'll have to check his tweets to see if he "feels" up to it. That's all before we actually see if he even makes it on the court during a game night.

    I hope Royce gets his act together and overcomes his problems for his sake. If the Rockets benefit from it that is all the better.

    This is a positive move for the Houston Rockets.

    Regardless of your own personal opinion of Royce White, this is a Houston Rockets fan forum.

    How even one person has a problem with this move is beyond me.

    After tonight's bad loss, the whole team should be assigned to D-League. #Overreaction

    This is good news, because it is so very hard to infuse talent into an NBA team. There are a lot of ballers in the world, but not many who can play with the elite NBA talent.

    The Rockets aren't a choice destination for top free agents.

    So the Rockets have a few options, draft guys with high upside, trade for NBA top talent, or sign lower tier free agents with high upside.


    And let's be realistic here, with the #16 picks in the NBA, you're hoping for a rotation player. Sometimes teams luck out, and get a star with picks #16 and later.

    So if Royce White proves to be a subpar player, he was given his chance to show what he could on the court.

    No but we as Rockets fans should be allowed to expect players occupying a roster spot and getting paid millions by the team to actually show up for work!

    Seems to be making some sort of progress. Hope he eventually gets some on court action!
