    I saw this from the beginning, I didn't want to be a douchebag. He has to overcome himself first. He sounded like a drama queen.

    That was pretty bad. However I like this quote about the Thunder management.

    "In Thunderland, for as long as Sam Presti is running the show, character wins out every time over talent."

    I find all Morey talks too much about stats and assets and not much about the character of the players and what they can bring to the org.

    Same here. Seems like he would be more comfortable on the Real World or Road Rules.

    I guess this is the reason why no one else was going to pick him in the 1st Round. I feel really bad for the kid but that's life. He isn't the only one with problems. I don't mean that in a bad way, I'm just saying he's battle though it. Here's hoping he does. He's got too much talent to let it go to waste.

    Funny thing is he stooped tweeting like 4 days ago...oh well don't have time for distractions either shape up or get shipped out @Highway_30. Not to sound like a prick but everybody have problems...you taking a spot from somebody who is ready and you making my team look bad for drafting you

    It just seems like the Rockets start each season with a new distraction.

    BTW, when do players get tested for drugs?

    Not a great start to Royces career, he really has to try and pull himself together. I mean if he cant even make it to 1st day of training camp how on earth is he going to feel once the season starts getting to games via aeroplanes every other day.
    His doctors, Rockets management and his agent need to get together and get this $hit sorted already, the longer this goes on the worse it will get for White.

    Y'all remember that Grantland video that came out two weeks ago and all those teams that Royce agent talked to on the phone all said they were out...Morey didn't want him...Screw you Hoiberg and Screw you McFail.

    Tyler Zeller is looking real good right now especially since we have no true backup C...hell Fab Melo or even Jared Sullinger...this dude wasted the team time

    Jones and Johnson are in camp so its on them to step up...honestly I hope this dude never play for us cause that bleep is childish

    If White doesn't have the courage to attend practice, how will he ever be able to perform in real game situations.

    Yeah I pretty much agree with this, probably far too early to jump to conclusions though.

    Although, I do feel it's a bit troubling that White isn't here and he's not having anxiety issues now. Hopefully this is not the start of things to come but, hope he's getting solid help.

    This is a great post. If anyone has struggled with or been around someone with anxiety issues, you know it can be beyond difficult. Anxiety can pop up in an instant with no warning. There is a real sense of hopelessness, even thoughts that you are dying. Hopefully there will be a solid plan in place, that said, it may not matter.

    If players get tested in training camp, and that's common knowledge......

    Anyone who rips on him is an assface. Seriously,you don't even know the whole story and you're ready to attack the guy. Wtf? He's a rocket, he's one of us, is this how you treat your own? You should be ashamed.

    I hope that's not the case. It would make more sense than the explanation he gave though.

    Hey, I feel for the guy. You know he wants to be in camp. What he is suffering with is a mental health issue. I know the Rockets are probably frustrated, but Royce has to be even more frustrated right now. I hope he can get healthy and get to camp as soon as possible.
