Given his short history, it seems very unlikely Royce will ever see the court in Rocket red. That could change if he would just shut his mouth and go to work. I have not seen anything from him suggesting he will ever shut up and work.
All of this talent and it's too bad somehow he couldn't make it this season. Please Royce make an effort. I have been supporting you and your cause (personally because I suffer from anxiety problems myself).

My Prediction: On his way to his first game he decides to suit up for the Vipers (actually their 12th game) Royce's RV is struck in the parking lot of McDonalds. Though the accident only occurs at 8 mph and no one is hurt Royce is struck with crippling fear. He is unable to get back in the RV and try as he might he cant figure out a way to #BeWell. He tries for weeks to convince the team to provide a rickshaw service to and from away games to no avail. Desperate and on the edge of being cut for quitting on his team for the 3rd time, with another 12 kids on the way, Royce needs to figure out a way to keep getting his pay checks. He decides to start Jogging to games ala Forrest Gump. He loses his 140lbs of excess weight, gets a six pack and quickly becomes a double double machine in the NBA. Morey parlays a few weeks of Royce success into a trade for a 1st round pick with one of the dumber NBA teams that Morey loves to steal from (Knicks, Kings, Thunder) and the Rockets fans live happily ever after.
Haha love it, although you can't call Thunder a dumb organisation.. They have done very well scouting players
They traded Harden instead of amnestying Perkins. They get the nod until they prove they can do something other than take the obvious choice with a top 5 pick.
Waive his ass already, no NBA team with common sense would take this fool. He didnt even do that great in the d-league.
In all honesty, i think he was 90% certain he was going to be meeting Dwight in the conference finals.
Fair enough, and I totally understand where his head was at, but I don't think a top tier gm would make a big decision to trade away a top 15 player who is 3 years from his prime in favor of keeping around a player who is fringe top 200 player past his prime because he marginally improves your chances in one series that may or may not ever happen. Seems more like a decision an emotional fan would make.
this bum is more worried if he can still collect a pay check next year, because no NBA team will dare to have him on their team
Royce White may be our most talented player besides Harden. I'm hoping he can come around and play for us but it's all in Royce's hands.
Morey likes it. It only takes one or few games to change the whole perception according to history of fan reactions on the forum. It's up to him.
Hopefully we can include Royce as a filler for salary matching into any trades we make this summer and we can finally get rid of him instead of having to wait an extra year.
