    It's not Bullard's job. The NBAPA may get involved here and demand he be fired.

    What if he is just trolling?

    We need a IQ test before allowing people to post...

    My take is white demanded more than just what is written on paper. And the Rockets pretty much said no to it and white is now throwing a fit because of it.

    Fired for setting the record straight and calling White out on his lies? I think not.

    If White is right, I hope he can prove it to clear his name. Then package him for Demarcus Cousins.

    I would rep you if I knew how. The best post in this novel of a thread. I hope everything works out in the end, for all parties.

    We could have probably landed a backup PG out of him, but now no one will touch him.

    The Rockets want, more than anything, for everyone to just shut up about the situation. They could be facing a massive lawsuit if things go poorly. Instigating reactions is not part of Bullard's pay grade.

    Team employees report news and give interviews just like Bullard's all the time. The league just suspended Demarcus Cousins for confronting a broadcaster over what he said during a game. Bullard's not going to be fired over being insensitive.

    He works for the Rockets...

    Darryl Morey: We are committed to Royce's long term success and we will continue to support him now and going forward.

    Les Alexander : This in an internal issue


    Matt Bullard: His twitter shows he is not intact with reality . . retweets a fake michael jordan saying Champs train chumps complain

    ...
    The two heads of the team are keeping quiet, you can't have a color commentator speak out against your team. It's not in the interest of the organization.

    Bullard went a bit too far with his comment on mental illness. Royce White has been acting like a petulant child though. I don't understand how things will work out at this point. Terrible situation. We can't even trade this guy for anything good now. Major major fail by Morey for wasting our pick on this guy.

    Anxiety sure is smart.

    If Royce tweets, it was just Anxiety talking....

    When the apology comes....guess who will be blamed?

    You got it......Anxiety.

    I feel sorry for Anxiety, as he is the true one being defamed.

    Too bad Royce will never cop to that.

    Come on. With all the terrible **** that happens due to social media (bullying so bad that people kill themselves over it), what Bull said does not warrant anything close to a lawsuit. He does need to shut up though.

    The Rockets are squeaky clean on this. White, out of the blue, publicly attacks the organization for hours on end and it deserves as big a response as he gave. Not even disgruntled vets have gone to such unbelievably venomous measures, and this guy is a rookie that no other team was even willing to give a chance.
