    For a guy who advocates #Transparency and #Truth, he's definitely vague and not transparent at all.

    Read through it and you see that the NBA is not made for someone like him. This is not a Wellness Health Club.

    Are there medical professionals with pro-basketball experience?

    ==

    Not criticizing him, just feel completely frustrated.

    White could have been of much help coming of the bench, or even made it into rotation, got constant playing time & developed with the team.

    He's got the skill set right there. :(

    My point is Morey will give Royce 1 year to to get it together...

    If Royce has no issues then he would of been drafted 5th...

    MOrey is a master... he has time, roster spot and cap space to take a risk on white

    You guys panic too much...

    It is pathetic to drag out time, being lazy and demanding while not thinking much about his hard working teammates and co-workers in the league.

    Go ahead. I will support the Rockets.

    I was interested in White's story as a person, but at this point just care that the Rockets come out of this good. If that mean he becomes hall of fame material, so be it. If that means he gets his act together enough to be traded, fine. If that means he gets his contract voided, OK with me. Rockets first. Narcissistic headcase second.

    The team is handling his crazy, narcissistic butt as well as can be expected, given the narcissism.

    But he didn't say anything about not trading him! Bye bye White, Hello Cousins.

    No hate. Just disgust and disappointment. Moochers and the entitled, whether they are politicians, welfare scammers, welfare plutocrats, or coddled athletes, are low in my book.

    I respect those who put in the work. When he faces his problems and puts in the work.... I will see him differently.

    He does have mental health issues if he thinks that doctors know all about health matters and you should only trust what they say.

    I agree. I'm wondering just how far the Rockets will take this before they decide it's no longer worth pursuing. Already, it's a lot farther than most of us fans would.

    And if Morey is not stringing this along only because his hands are tied, I'd have to hand it to him. Talk about thinking outside of the box.
