    Royce White is a blessing for Morey. It is the Almighty's way of teaching him about humans and humanity. Daryl is finally gonna become a real boy soon.

    This. If he can't think straight because of his mental problem, then he needs a good guy who can give him sound advice that is good for his future career. Right now, he's not making the good decisions.

    Am i understanding this exchange b/t Broussard and White correctly? Is white saying he never intended to get on planes in the league, or this year? :confused:

    Chris Broussard ‏@Chris_Broussard

    Will all these tweets and criticisms increase his stress? Heck, he might not be in camp on monday.

    i dont know...but if he keeps going after members of the media, any time they mention him or mental illnesses, he's just going to drive them away from talking about him or his condition.

    It does sound like he is saying he will not get on a plane period. Instead of it getting better, his stance seems to be hardening. Or perhaps this was his veiled stance all along :(

    White brought this attention to himself by going to the media and purposely missing media day, kind of stupid thing to do. What's done is done, I just hope we can quickly forget about this, the league approves and White will stop drawing attention to himself. I understand most of it is out of his hands but it seems he really likes the attention and judging from his behaviour during college games, he will get some technicals and get some enemies quickly which isn't necessarily a bad thing if it doesn't become a distraction.

    Royce White is a diva hiding behind his intelligence and anxiety.

    Royce White needs a reason to trust the Rockets.... How about that they were the first team to pick him. He said it himself in that video "It says something about man"

    **** you White. He should have been more forthcoming this whole time and I look at this as a money grab on his part.

    Or he might be a narcissist hiding behind "his anxiety", or he might be legitimately screwed up, or he might be trying to dodge something. I'm getting the distinct impression that the Rockets never even had this guy checked out by a shrink. Just how much homework did the Rockets do on this guy? That would be a good question for Jonathan Feigen to ask, but I won't hold my breath on that one.

    And Roy Hibbert is right, someone needs to be fired over this. Let's hope Les is asking some very tough questions.

    I think he's talking about the plane to Rio Grande.

    But it doesn't make him look better if he knew this and waited until the last second.

    Part of the terms should have been for Royce to get a new doctor.

    He's really dwelling on his "illness" and enjoying it.
