Royce White skips game and practice (UPDATE: White issues statement)

What a wasted pick.

 

I'm not quite sure I understand what the point of all the tweeting is at this point. People understand what he's TRYING to do, but I don't think ANYBODY agrees with the way he's going about doing it. He's not building bridges here. He's blowing them up.

 

what's his point with the calendar, that he doesn't have meetings with doctors scheduled?

 

I'm guessing he wanted to show that there were no scheduled appointments for a meeting with any team doctors? I'm not exactly sure though....

 

He keeps deleting tweets, he just deleted the CONFIDENTIALITY~ one, that boy is a mess.

Royce's mom, come get your son.

 

werd.........white b dumb az hell

 

Neither the blowing up of bridges nor the feeling that one is absolutely in the right while doing so is not uncommon among those of us that aren't right in the head.

Crazy people act crazy. And I'm pretty sick of the half-understanding posts. The ones that go something like, "I understand he's ill and he has my sympathy but maybe things would work out better if he wasn't such a baby." Being 'such a baby' is part of the illness. Would you say to a person in a wheelchair, "I'm really sorry about your injury but I just can't understand why you can't run with one leg."

Of course this is all rather a moot point to me. I've never seen any player play in a Rockets uniform this year. Les Alexander had to get richer instead.

 

I GUARANTEE you that every time Royce Sends a tweet, the Rockets have someone that immediately copies the tweet for a just in case moment. When you write something on the internet, its there in ink, not pencil.

 

I don't see "Take to twitter and overshare incessantly for 5 straight hours" on this schedule.



Maybe that's why he deleted it.

 

i think to show that he didn't start his tantrum b/c they told him he's being sent down to d-league.....the calendar is supposed to prove that he was supposed to travel with the team this week, and therefore his tantrum is due to some other vague reason he has to tweet disclose as of yet

 

I can't believe this thread has 82,000 views. You guys are obsessing over a Rookie basketball player which has no real bearing on the direction of this team. What else do you guys do with your time?

 

That calendar doesnt prove anything...its looks like a generic schedule that's the same for everyone. They just put different names on it.

yes, they are called Clutchfans

 

very true. No need to hire anyone internally, they have a few 1,000 compliance officers already working for them.

 

WAIT, guys I've discovered the problem:

See his calendar has it marked as "Wednesday, 11/15" - today is 11/14... *classic* mixup! This will be all sorted out soon.

I have done research, I have a couple of friends that have dealt with similar issues... They didnt blame others and get pissed when others did not meeting all their demands! Try not making accusations you can't back up!

I'm not saying he doesn't have a real issue! I'm saying he is handling his issue like a spoiled brat!

 

It's a compelling story. Royce White was/is trending on Twitter for a reason.

 

The Nba is not for this guy. Its easier to get past anxiety when you are the best player on the floor and coaches cater to you because you can help them make the NCAA tournament and eventually get a better coaching job.

It pains me to say it because I thought he could be a great bench player for us.

 

Time to cut losses. GAD is a treatable disorder. Delusion is something else entirely. That's also treatable but the meds will make him useless as a player.
