    I think Royce White has officially annoyed his #anxietytroppers too

    I agree with everything here and he should not be forgiven. Ever. He's used his disorder as a crutch and now that he's not getting what he wants he's throwing a massive childish tantrum. And like all children he should be punished.

    so that "Last thing" wasn't the last thing? How long did he hold out today? Is he just on Twitter 24/7? That doesn't sound very healthy.

    That's not fair. T-Mac at least busted his butt for the Rockets before he gave up.

    He is allowed to see his doctor. He just has to see a team appointed doctor as well. Obviously he's trying hard to come up with something.. anything that he can latch to.

    Now he's just point-blank attacking the organization. Wow... this is like an engineer at Google tweeting @ Sergey. If this was any other context (not NBA), this guy would be labeled toxic and would never work in the field again.

    The Irony here is he's using a "medical reason" to NOT see the doctor who's been assigned to help address his medical issues.

    "Sorry doc, I know you're the guy who's supposed to help fix my back, but I can't see you because my back hurts..."

    The gaps in logic are truly astonishing.

    Royce gives "high risk, high reward" a new meaning.

    I'd be shocked if Royce's agent and the Rockets aren't working on a buyout or whatever as we speak.

    The more he tweets, the worse he is making the Rocket's look (whether they deserve it or not). The next shoe to drop is going be a complaint with the NBAPA it seems.

    Given what all is happened, how on earth can this relationship be salvaged?

    ...or "high risk, no reward" a literal one.

    My sources have told me that the Rockets have put Royce White on the trading block, the best offer so far has been a conditional 2nd round pick, (top 59 protected).
