Thats the letter that was linked earlier. He released that through NBA.com
If you want to see a case where handlers/advisors are fucking up ....
He's not with out blame obviously.
I don't know him, but the kid sounds like a first-class douche. Even Delonte, with his boundless insanity, gets his crazy-ass in to work. He is a hazard to his teams because of it, but at least he tries. Royce can tweet all he wants, but he's not even reporting to work. And it's not like Houston isn't providing medical assistance. PEACE.

ah okay, thats good. i guess my twitter feeds were slow. i kept hearing a back forth about "new years day for sure" to "that date isnt guaranteed". i just want this dude as healthy as possible

it seems like the last thing Royce should be worried about right now is being a professional basketball player.

Yeah man, this dude is making me sick. Seriously, I have anxiety disorder that definitely interferes with my daily life but I continue to do what I gotta do to live. Sure it stresses me the fuck out but I don't let it control me like he is doing.

Marvin Williams out with knee inflammation :/
Mo Williams' thumb is too swollen to even get an MRI...
Oh well. Maybe Corbin will actually play the young players and think about the future.

Next you'll expect him to play the players that got a double digit lead.
Thats just insane.

You never know, he could be like David Lee and one year everything just comes together out of the blue

David Lee already did that with The Knicks.
There are different degrees and nature to it. Your comment makes as much sense as someone saying "I find some guys attractive yet I found the strength to marry a girl anyway" (not that sexual orientation is an illness, i mean it is natural). Royce is making a big mistake in his tweeting, he should surround himself with people who could help his communication, but the whole thing is not just as simple as "don't be crazy" or "you can control it". Not always. Would you say to a schizophrenic he can control his hallucinations? People who take anxiolytics don't have more of a right to judge White.

Mavs are going to be looking at 13-23 soon probably.
Wonder if they'll trade Dirk or shut him down and tank hard for Noel.
Maybe, but I think he'll just stay as he is. He's had a lot of changes in scenery and role and coaching and he still can't defend.

lol amazing how big u mad is that everyone knows about it. I wonder if Camron knows about this.
And you traded him for the right to pay Amare Stoudemire $100million per working knee
they won't do anything this season. They'll give dirk a chance to get fit, along with healthy, and then see how he plays with Mayo.
I really don't expect any big moves from them this season.
The off season? ....
If his situation allowed him to travel and play in front of 20k people in college, then i think i know how bad his situation is.
That's all bullshit. He just doesn't want to be sent to the D-League.
I doubt Royce will end up actually receiving a dime from the Rockets after all this. Sounds like it's destined to end with someone suing the other.
Yeah i agree. I was sort of a defender of this kid earlier but he's obviously doing jack to help the rockets. Only thing he's done is light it up at summer league and then sort of hole up in his home and talked trash on twitter.
If you have mental problems that's fine, but shut the hell up on twitter and come in to work and try to get better and spend as much time in with the team as possible.
From the stuff that's been posted the past few pages, doesn't sound like he's doing that.
I wonder what you know less about, health or law. Seems like a draw.
Are you going to #educate me?
Royce White said:
#Logic tells me he refuses to play unless the Rockets "reasonably accomodate" him with minutes he doesn't deserve.
Are the Rockets really not following the advise of doctors?
Matrix
LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world hed rather have. The problem is, Dwyanes not a woman.
lol
No one knows that, because the Rockets refuse to comment on it.
You know, they're trying to not string the kid out to dry.
The only public comment I've seen them make about their demands is that if he is feeling to ill to go to training, then he has to go to therapy that day instead.
Which, IMO, is a pretty reasonable allowance.
Isn't the NBDL assignment just the Rox covering their bases? They can prove that they made multiple efforts to accommodate him, including assigning him to a position that has slightly easier travel requirements. It sounds like he's really hung up on not having his own doctors, but I don't see how that should be keeping him from work. Doesn't he need to make a good faith effort of actually going in to work, and then if he has an issue with the medical staff, file his grievance then? I don't understand his rationale really. PEACE.
Does he even lift?
Absolutely it is.
I would think they've been paying him to show they're not trying to alienate him and want to help him. That will probably change soon if he's not progressing.

What I don't like about Royce's comments is, and I'm talking out my ass here, wouldn't a professional likely tell him not to get on planes or do lots of other things that aren't expected from NBA players.
The severity of his condition seems to be completely at odds with what he wants.

Ya just gotta wonder how the fuck the Rockets missed noticing his mental issues during interviews or ignored them. Weird.

Re: Royce White
Seems like even his most adamant supporters were outraged by him using Newtown in his latest statement.

It's not. The Rockets allowed him to use a van to get game to game and he still failed to show up to the next game right after this was made. he just wants to have his way 100% with his own doctors or something (&probbly doesnt want to play in the dleague)

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
Royce White needs to understand what "reasonable accommodations" actually means... Rockets are stuck with him right now until Royce puts the final nails in his own coffin.
He's made a complete ass out of himself on Twitter.
