    Love it! Here's to White making it back on the court.

    I've kept quiet on this situation for the most part. I highly doubt Royce would've seen much of the court this season. Purely because i think Morris and Patterson are ahead of him on the depth charts.

    It's just that i've always had the nack for wanting to see the lineup of Douglas, Harden, Parsons, White and Asik on the court. With White playing the second playmaking role behind Harden.

    Hooray. He's doing something. And that's worth celebrating. And that that's worth celebrating is not pathetic at all. Go us.

    It's not about hate. Criticism is not synonymous with hate.

    Here's to hoping we get another rotational player at worst, and that Moreyball strikes again.

    Welcome Back Royce. I'm assuming the travel arrangements have been settled and he can go back to playing NBA ball eventually.

    we can all pretend to hold a grudge, but if he turns it around and performs well, all will be forgiven

    It's time for Royce to show those of us who have essentially given up on him that we were premature to do so, and I hope he succeeds in doing just that. I also hope that he closes his Twitter account. Will be awaiting further developments in... As the Royce World Turns. With luck, it won't turn into The Great Twitter Disaster. Next season, I want to be able to see Around the NBA in 80 Games, starring Royce White!

    I think he's talking about Morris, or his son.

    We all know that if White actually sees the floor in the D-League, he's going to do well right? The only issue is actually seeing the floor.

    "Rockets trying to work White back into the organization."

    How about trying to work him back to Planet Earth?

    I hope Royce gets plenty of minutes, as long as it doesn't take any away from Terrence.

    It's progress, but it's hard to get excited about him anymore. He's over basketball and it's fans and hasn't even started his career. I'm always, or at least for a very long time, going to see his name with an asterisk.

    This is ridiculous.

    I've never seen a professional athlete of so little regard be babied so much by an organization.

    Just tie Royce down, lead him to the arena, untie him, throw him onto the court during garbage time and tell him to play dammit. If he refuses or starts crying, get rid of his a$$.
