    Funny thing is, he was only a week or so away from being brought back anyways due to the end of the RGV season. Not that he would have actually played or even suited up, but this latest episode is just completely unnecessary. Him making the announcement especially concludes that this is just an attention getter from an attention w****.... oh, and you can pretty much end any debate that he will be a Rockets next year.

    I would assume that the Rockets let him go do whatever for the remainder of this season(to stay away from a team in the playoff hunt for distractions), and give him a Summer League/training camp invite. Then at the end of training camp, if he's anything short of Lebron James I assume he gets waived at the end of pre-season.

    The team physician probably advised him that it would be better for the mental and emotional health of everyone with the Vipers if the cancerous, ass-licking-begging fraud named Royce White would be moved as far away from the team as possible.

    BEST CASE:
    He goes to Europe and is able to play at a high level, travel via bus and becomes a star where is lack of explosiveness will be less of an issue and his passing ability is maximized. He is talented enough to get by over seas if he doesnt unibomber.

    WORST CASE:
    He gets shanked in a Whataburger bathroom from one of his baby mama's.

    MOST LIKELY:
    He is released/traded by the Rockets this off season.

    He assumes that he can stay out of shape and hook on with another NBA team. He gets a try out and is ran off the court.

    He is constantly sued for backed child support. A warrant is issued for his arrest and he spends time behind bars.

    He then files suit against the NBA and Rockets where he represents himself because he cannot afford an attorney.

    He does not work because he is convinced that he has anxiety issues that render him disabled. He repeatedly files for disability from the federal government and relies on his "doctor". Eventually he no longer can pay his "doctor" and she stops seeing him.

    He lives on the edges of society, reaches nearly 500 lbs and begins to slowly lose his mind. He dies at 50 years old and there is a small mention in the Houston Press that a former Rocket draft pick died in poverty.

    Royce White leaving RGC to go back to Houston but...

    Royce White ‏@Highway_30 1h

    Have been advised by our team physician it is most logical I be in Houston the remainder of the season. Thank you @rgvvipers for having me.



    --------------


    Royce White ‏@Highway_30 1h

    Never said I'd be rejoining the @HoustonRockets... only that I'd be returning to Houston. Again, thank you @rgvvipers for having me.

    hmmm...so is he:

    1) in need of psychological help?
    2) injured?
    3) didn't get along with the Vipers?
    4) Left the team on his own accord?

    Not sure exactly what this means, but if Royce is actually following the team physician's recommendations that in itself is a good sign.

    Is the team physician our guy or is it the one Royce wanted the Rockets to hire?
