    Complaint threads are always long. Nothing surprising about that...

    I would have have taken half of what he got and not played either. Who's the better deal now? ;)

    Royce was the 16th pick of the draft last year. That pick was not our own, that was a result of tmac/kmart trade - we lost a disgruntle star and now have a disgruntle rookie...but Kmart/lowry ended up netting us Harden.

    I don't even consider Mo Taylor Jr. a Rocket.... as far as I am concerned the Rockets never got the #16 pick.

    "I'm something FAR greater then a basketball player, I'm a HUMAN! #MostValuable" --Royce White

    There's your update.

    The dude has still not devolved into a basketball player.

    I just want all this drama over with. I'd love to see him on the court, but if he's too much trouble ... drop him.

    We all wish he could be a less-than-human basketball player.

    I watched this guy play at Iowa State and I thought it wouldn't matter that he was a little off, in fact I kinda thought it would give him an edge.... man I was wrong. This guy is making Ron Artest look like Shane Battier normal.

    if the team were more #transparent we would see "DNP- Anxiety" on the box score.

    put him in his place and don't give him the fodder to accuse the team of misrepresenting him.

    Not artsy enough I reckon. I expecting something more along the line of Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak.

    "Mental health is for me, and I venture for many of us who are planetary fetuses gestating in the amniotic effluvia of terminal industrialsm, one of those impossible things characterized by Gayatri Spivak as that which we cannot not desire. Excruciatingly conscious of mental health's discursive constitution as 'other' in the histories of colonialism, racism, sexism, and class domination of many kinds, we nontheless find in this problematic, ethno-specific, long-lived, and mobile concept something we cannot do without, but can never 'have.'" --Royce White

    "You must be Clear of the Morey engram." --Royce White's "Doctor"

    He should consider what this says about his lack of understanding about both his responsibilities as a professional and his personal need to face his fears?
