    This question is about as relevant as what I'm going to have for lunch 10 days from now. The Rockets have no need to make a decision now, and they're not going to until the last minute.

    It's too early to tell. We have two years before we need to decide.

    This has to be a first where a mid-first round pick doesn't step on the NBA court and already doesn't want to get picked up by the fans.

    Why are we even talking about this?

    Will Joyce grow a penis in the coming years? I reckon not.

    Did the Rockets need to pick him in the first place?

    He'll probably end up not playing ball anywhere and may just pursue his career in music lol

    I am a very big defender of Royce, despite his problems, but "no" ,not at this time. Perhaps they pick it up right before the deadline to do so. If he can't get his act together by the deadline to pick up the option, then goodbye.

    All the reviews I've seen on him say he needs the ball to be effective. And he can't shoot. With this second D-League bit, waive his ass. He's not even tradeable.

    I'm going go out on a limb and I'm going to say: yes.

    It is still a long way away and things change. We have seen it before with Lebron and Kobe (the converse with T-Mac). They are of course hall of famers with rings, but winning and solid play cures all. We haven't seen the full extent of What White has to offer (glimpses in summer league), but if he turns out to be a top 10 talent like Morey suggests, these tweets could be distant memory in 2 years.

    The good thing about amassing talents in recent years is we don't rely on 'glimpses' of talents.
    Even if his option is being picked up he will be traded for sure once he gets his 8 pts 8 rbs 5 ast stat line.

    Your asking this for a guy about to get cut for breach of contract? We need more role players, White's taking a spot. Either he gets himself to D-league or his spot gets taken.
