    I'd like to see him and his stupid tweets disintegrate into nothing as he disappears from the NBA and the public eye.

    time to cut ties with him and see if you can get some money back. let's see if he cares about getting paid and doing his job. if it doesnt work out, good luck to another team (if any) who is willing to put up with him #bewell

    At this point, why don't the Rockets just suspend him w/o pay and let him rot until he shows up to his assignment?

    That's what I'm wondering. Shouldn't there be a way that we can recover some of this money that we're essentially throwing away?

    Has this ever happened in the history of the NBA that a player just refuses to be a player?

    There are so many guys out there working their asses off trying to get just a shot in the NBA and this kid is just throwing all away.

    again his statements are only filled with vague accusations of not being supported properly. I seriously hope they just suspend him without pay or void his contract somehow (this has to be breach of contract, right?)

    You are absolutely fooling yourself if you believe this man will ever play for the Rockets.

    when he said this

    I didn't care what he said after that. Bringing up current tragedies for his benefit is disgusting and embarrassing on his part.....

    I haven't read a ton about white, but I thought his only issue was he had a fear of flying? I rank that pretty low on the mental health spectrum myself. He's blowing it up pretty needlessly if that's all his issue is.

    It disgusts me that he is connecting himself to the tragedies around the country in order to get more attention.

    If everything White is saying is true, why are not doctors or professionals working for or with the Rockets releasing statements to corabarate his story. Now, it's just the Rockets vs. White with only Bullard (lol) and White's own personal doctor who speak out. Who knows what to believe? I tend to believe the Rockets since White is now saying they have not been supportive while before he said the exact opposite. I do find it very plausible that certain people within the organisation, Morey for example, who would go against doctor's advise and just tell him to play since he can also practice or some other logic that even though makes sense to us, not so much for White.

    Bingo. Dude certainly graduated from stealing laptops. Well played, Mr. White. Well, played. Money for nothing and the chicks for free.
