    Need to do something because he is indeed wasting money and a roster spot that can be better served spent on someone that can do the job.

    I have no problem with his condition but everything I've seen on him, the bigger fault I see is with his actual skills. He has talent, but raw talent doesn't mean crap in the NBA if you don't hone it into a skill and based on the games and highlights I've seen that hasn't been the case with Mr. White.

    The most he has provided for the Rockets organization since the last training camp has been distractions and really, at this point they have to know if he is going to be mentally capable to contribute to the team at this point.

    Am I the only person on CF that thinks waiving/cutting him makes 0 sense?

    Well we gotta pay him if we cut him so wouldn't keeping him around and hoping he changes his attitude a gamble your willing to take?

    The only way I see cutting him an acceptable move if his roster spot is taking up a crucial spot for a morey gem

    I do as well. He should not be rewarded for his actions and he should be forced to work in the D league since he'll get paid either way. He will never make the pro team but I want to watch him suffer and cry like a baby playing ball in the D league to earn his money.

    Royce wants to get cut so he can collect his money without having to play.

    You are not the only person. I believe suspend him without pay makes better sense.

    You guys know what is most telling here?

    If Royce is not lying, and that is a big "IF", then the Rockets have not contacted him which means they don't want anything to do with him.

    So, either way, he is done as a Rocket.

    1. He is not showing up and has been told - Rox will jettison him.

    2. He has not been told because they don't want him - Rox will jettison him.

    He is done like dinner !

    Would you stay with a woman who lied to you, made your life hell, and never ever put out? You have answered this question.

    *Bingo!* We have a winner (IMO). I think he will continue to sell his potential and "unique abilities" to another sucker franchise in the future while hiding behind the ADA. Have y'all seen his latest tweets?... no mention of actually playing basketball. He's too busy on the internet,"studio time", impregnating women... I would guess a lot goes on the NBA behind the scenes that we the fans will never know about about. I hope one of those discussions is about blackballing him from the NBA. I and most everyone else with jobs work hard for their money and he should too.

    P.S. I don't go looking for his tweets...I go to Hoopshype which has all the NBA related tweets and can be narrowed down to just Rockets' twitter posts which includes management, players and media.

    You don't have to be asked to go workout with your teammates. As soon as the season ended D-MO was back at Toyota center working out.
