    Better learn how to take orders are the Burger King drive thru! Oh wait, he can't work there since it's 'have it your way' and not 'have it Roce White's way.'

    I never wanted to draft this guy in the 1st place! We should've gotten someone who could come in right away and contribute of the bench

    that's a recipe for the mediocrity treadmill. Rockets need stars and you don't get stars in the mid-late first without taking chances.

    Hindsight is 20 20 (and we don't even have that yet), but the Rockets had 3 picks. Had to roll the dice with at least one.

    I think we would all be ok - if he just said . . . Hey, I'm freaked out right now - I'm sick and I need a leave of absence to get back to being stable . . . I will fix this and I will work with the team to get this solved . . DONE

    Enough of the soap box and the blame game !!!

    I feel for Royce. I have the same anxiety issues. I have never flown or been on a plane, and never will for the time being. But if you want to be a pro athlete, you need to realize that you will fly, whether NFL, NBA, NHL or MLB.

    I dont get how he got drafted if this was a concern. Now he has no value trade wise.

    OMFG, his anxiety can actually discern NBA and D-League minutes?!?!? This is more serious than I thought!

    C'mon guys Royce was born in 1991 and is 21 years of age. He is old enough to drink and make the right decisions. People will know that he stood up for himself and did what's right. Some adversity to get on the right path can be detrimental to his health and well being. Bright a-dult.

    You don't have any mental issue though....
    How serious is his problem? If he is just exaggerating and it's not really affecting him then yeah goodbye, there's the door. But if it's actually serious then at least have some sympathy guys...

    Morey made a mistake on this guy. Unless he had the potential to be the next MJ, why would you draft him or even provide him with his own RV?

    His entitlement attitude already tells me that he's going to be a bust.

    No. The Rockets lost the minute Morey drafted him. Now, they win if he leaves.

    Morey royally messed up here. This pick exploded in his face.
