My secret insider told me this is how it went down. Royce to RGV Doctor "Man, this road trip coming up is tripping me out, don't you think it would be logical for me to be at home than possibly getting anxious" Dr. "Well, I guess so, but.." Royce runs out room, gets on the bus and heads to Houston to do a CNN interview. Rockets call doctor " WTF did you say" Dr. "I told him that it might be logical to do that but that he had responsibilities and that we needed him here, but when I turned around he was gone" Royce answering phone from Daryl Morey "Hey DM, what is up, you ready to have me come in and work out with Kevin now?" DM "Uh, Royce you are assigned to the Dleague" Royce "The doctor said it would be logical...." DM "You will be suspended without pay, again (sigh) if you don't get back to work with the Vipers" Royce "Oh, sorry, I must have misunderstood - I will fire up the bus for the next home game, it is all just a big misunderstanding" DM "Sure, Royce, sure it was, now get back to work" DM Hangs up Royce "I can tweet about it though, right??? Right? Daryl??"" Static............. DD
Royce White is a piece of ****. Those that still back him are crazy. Please DM let him rot out his Rockets contract in the D-League.
Agreed, getting him off of the Rockets roster is indeed a work in progress. Hopefully they manage to pull it off this off-season.
this team is like a sport anime lol. first episode you meet the superstars in lin and harden and to hook the audience in they make them play great to open up the show. -following episodes they showcase different players like greg smith vs. the lakers or defino clutch 3's -then the arc where they go on a losing streak and try to find their ways -finally start winning and lose their starting lineup -they fight and struggle to make the playoff. -season finale a nail biter 7 game series first round exit. Although they lose, last scene show Royce White training in a rocket uniform.
He doesn't have enough talent to make him worth this crap. Don't cut him, just make suite he knows he will be in the d league the entire time he is a rocket and fine him a game check every time he misses.
No benefit cutting him now as still have to pay him next year. As long as his not affecting the team. Morey does not care if he upsets some clutchfans via twitter
I promise you that Les cares a lot, he is very protective of his clubs image, and as soon as they can Royce will be gone. Even if they have to buy him out with a full pay agreement for next year with a no sue attachment, but Royce will never play for Houston, imo. And I doubt he plays in the NBA. DD
The ONLY way to stop this is to fine him; make him pay for HIS EMOTIONS. The pocket book is how most of us learn. Not a little fine either (a % of his salary). It will stop - broke or broken - it will stop. Time for the kid to grow-up. NEVER AGAIN. His a big boy now. lesson: Emotion = Money
