Sixers waive Royce White

Nice move Morey!!!

 

Awesome.

 

On the other hand, he can just go to China (drug himself to sleep while on plane) and just play there. I'm sure he can continue his playing without worrying of flying or anything else. There are also a lot of chinese girls he can have more kids with.

 

See ya.

That about sums up how I feel about him at this point. What a disappointment this guy is. He is a fat conman and a crook. Get some real help Royce and stop embarrassing yourself and other people who battle serious mental illness everyday by using your disability as a crutch and an excuse to just be a bad person.

 

Yeah and third biggest problem... his perception of his talent level....

He was a Boris Diaw to be with hard work and thought he could be close to Lebron and getting by talent alone

 

Have to say, this is so f'ed up, he must be more mental than we realize.

 

Carma iz ay vetch.

 

You mean the money he is using to pay for his child support??? I have no doubt in my mind that Royce is gonna be some bum i see at the corner of Hilcroft and 59 in the next few years...

We talk about mental illness being a real problem for people. While his illness may prevented him from even having a serviceable career in the NBA, his underlying personality disorder ensured that he will never be able to step on an NBA court again. We will all remember Royce being a busted pick, but no one will care what he does ever again.

One last point...he has made it a real possibility that a college player with noted mental illness will never ever ever get drafted in the NBA.

 

Hey, I like the guy & wish him the best, but I still crack up every time I see this photoshop I did back in the day:

 

we're still paying his salary this year ... but glad to know he's not gonna twitter-bomb us again.

fighting with his bosses here smh ... how could he possibly think it could end otherwise?

 

I think they traded him to avoid any type of lawsuit and Hinkie helped them out......

My guess is the league was probably very much involved with how to jettison this loser and protect all the teams and the league from lawsuit.

DD

 

You get an opportunity to play in the NBA but you blow it smh

 

I think this is what happened...

Royce wasn't waived and his contract used to dump for Howard. Obviously the fear of lawsuits was probably there due to the "feud" between him and management.

Traded to Sixers to offload contract onto a neutral team. Sixers "embrace" Royce with his disorder and offer to help him develop his NBA future.

Royce doesn't fly with Sixers for obvious reasons, but tries and "practices flying"

Royce plays his first NBA preseason minutes and absolutely sucks the entire time.

Now gets cut for performance reasons, absolving the Sixers of any "disability" liabilities because statistical proof exists he sucks more than anyone else on the team. No team is obligated to keep crappy players over better ones. Lawsuit dismissed. Sixers/Rockets win.

 

Things had the potential to get ugly had the Rockets waived him. He already had the ball rolling for this. Interviews with the media, the publicity, eventually he would have gone the lawsuit route. Rockets would have won but its better to avoid that ugly situation and a distraction altogether.

Sam helped the Rockets out. Sixers went through the motions with him. They gave him a chance to showcase himself but in all likelihood they had already set their mind on cutting him. Sam had seen this time bomb in Houston and you know that "Fool me once........"

Now could Royce try the same media stunt/circus in Philadelphia too? Yes but now his case gets weaker. He had opportunities with two teams and he couldn't make it. Sixers can also say they gave him a fair shot but just didn't like what they saw on the court and how do you file a lawsuit against that?? Even if they did like what they saw from him, like I said, he just isnt worth the headaches he brings.

The situation was handled very gracefully and tactfully by the Rockets and the Sixers.

 

He was building a case from day one.

That's the spirit! #narcissismtroopers

 

I said this last year shortly after he want went AWOL. It seemed very obvious at the time.
