    How sad is it when your D-League team is better and likely happier to be rid of your first round pick?

    He's going to tweet the writer and say that's all wrong and uninformed, followed by #bewell.

    So it seems we basically wasted a draft pick on him?

    Wow. That article was damning. I don't know what the Rockets will do, but it's hard to imagine this melodrama continuing after this season. Clearly, if one believes the author (and I do), White was quite a disruption for the Vipers. What would he bring to the Rockets? More of the same? I think he would if he ever makes it here. Nice find, Clutch.

    Pretty much. Morey swung for the fences and whiffed.

    High risk/high reward. At least he's irrelevant to the success of the team.

    Can you imagine if he was with the Rockets.

    The disruption he would cause -- I can just see a seriously messed up locker room situation. Chemistry would be in the toilet.

    Royce white is a bad nightmare for rox fans. I hope we wake up soon and forget everything that happened.

    I find it laughable that he can appear so comfortable during media appearances (Dr. Phil, CNN, etc) yet he can't even get along with teammates.

    What a complete waste of a draft pick.

    If Morey never missed then he wasn't gambling enough.

    Royce White is a IRL troll. If you just ignore him he'll go away, and it will be as if he never even existed. I don't know what kind of trauma he has incurred on your life, but my year hasn't changed one bit because of him. Just stop caring.

    Yeah, Royce White is pretty much a sad sack.

    The body language thing seems minor, but no one likes a chronically miserable downer all about himself.

    He's gotten far being the "articulate" type but his true negative spirit comes through. Simple, though he wont get it, he needs to be TRULY embracing of ALL people, himself and of policies. Not just for basketball but in LIFE now.

    Dude is human garbage, not just as a basketball player but as a human being...good call Maury...

    Maybe White will get lucky and land assistant managers job at MickeyD's. But i'm not holding my breath...

    Like Deckard says this is very damning.

    Basketball is a team game and he's not concerned about being a good teammate.

    I don't see him being in the gym and putting in the time to be the best he can be as people like TRob, Dmo and others are doing.
