Rockets, Royce White issue joint press release. Suspension lifted, he's joining D-League Feb 11

I saw him playing in Vic's Vacant Lot.

 

This, if your going to have an opinion about him, please keep it about basketball. None of us know royce, none of us can judge him as a citizen or man. You can say he sucks at basketball go ahead its your opinion as a basketball fan, but don't attack him on a personal level saying what type of citizen he is and all the other ridiculous comments about a man almost nobody knows.

 

we KNOW that he stole and that he is very selfish, likes social media

 

Then d-mo will get a twitter account and spread #awareness for the lack of run he is getting because he's crazy, to which royce will reply #bewell

 

Reading comprehension?
He wants a third party doctor to determine this.

 

He sucks at being a citizen of Rockets Nation. Better? :grin:

 

Good grief gentlemen, expand your definition of citizen.

And on a personal level, I seriously think he is going to suck at being a human citizen. He had a best opportunity in the world for his issues and he blew it by pulling the entitlement card.

He can disappear for all I care.

 

I hope it all works out. How many of us has done things in their early twenties that we have regret? I know I cant count all of mine. I hope it all works out and he can look back on this after we win a few championships.

 

Well he should have been charged with theft and trespassing while in Minny,so I'm not so sure about the defense of him being a good citizen.

 

can't wait for his D-League debut.

want to see that he was worth bothering with at all...

 

true. and he better make it work out. now that he got what he wants, he better do his part and deliver for the team and on the court.

 

hopefully, there won't be anymore issues.

 

He hasnt been paid at all by the rockets, in fact, he probably has lost money from the fines he built up.

 

I may be wrong but I believe that they did not start fining Royce until recently.

 

I believe that's right. He was paid at first, then they suspended him without pay kind of recently. 20K a game starts to hurt!

 

Actually, $9,679.06 per day (if my calculations are correct).

Unfortunately, the suspension didn't help the Rockets increase cap room, as only 50% of salary forfeited in LEAGUE suspensions can be "taken off the cap". This presumably was a TEAM suspension, ALTHOUGH . . . it's possible that, by (accurately) phrasing the reason for the suspension as a "failure to perform services required by the Uniform Player Contract," the Rockets have categorized this as a suspension sanctioned by the league and therefore qualifying for partial salary cap relief. Not sure about that, and I wouldn't count on getting that cap room. It'd be chicken scratch, regardless.

 

doesn't insurance pay his salary for the other games he's missing for 'medical reasons' anyways
