    I doubt if he ends up going down there. He will come up with some BS about no proper mental health plan.

    He's on Twitter today saying that the "protocol" agreed to by doctors isn't being "implemented" and that "logic" isn't being "applied."

    I hate this POS. He'll be out of the league before his rookie contract is up.

    I personally despise the drafting and wasting of a pick on Royce White. But, this incident and the way it was handled, continues to show me that the Rockets as an organization have no doubt done their part to accomodate this individual. It speaks volumes more about the Rockets as an organization than it does for the hope of Royce actually becoming anything more than he is now. I'm actually quite proud of the organization and seeing how far they will go to for an individual basketball player. Well done, Mr Alexander and Mr Morey. We are very fortunate to have them leading this team.

    I don't think anyone has a problem with it, but rather believe it is irrelevant. Royce White's reputation is mud. Even if he does well in the DLeague and does well for the Rockets, they will never count on him because he is a ticking time bomb.

    The team should consider hiring Gary Payton to be his therapist.

    White has next to no value.

    Trade White and Machado to the Clippers for 6'10" Trey Thompkins. A young 22 year old PF without the baggage who can and will play.

    Good for him but I seriously doubt he will crack the rotation under McHale.

    So he is still b****ing after this decision is announced.

    The apologists don't realize that this guy is an *******, mental illness or not.

    Mental illness is also not an excuse for stealing a laptop.

    So he's refusing to go? That actually makes more sense than him following orders and going.

    Haven't seen him say he's not going, but what he was writing last night didn't sound positive.

    True, but some of the criticism has sounded hateful.

    Wonderful and fantastic news!
    This is a step forward.
    With your talent, more work and time on the court
    you will be in McHale's rotation soon.

    Just one step at a time!
    Royce, I have faith in you!

    Soon, I will start a new phenomenal group, RWOF, Royce White Only Fan.
