I think they are waiting for the end of the season to do it...he'll make a big stink about it and he'll be all over ESPN, etc... Don't need this during the season/playoffs
Seriously putting aside all his mental health issues with the D-League games I've watched this guy seems very slow out there. I don't think he'll be able to keep up with the athletic PFs in the NBA and no way he can guard 3s. If he's just out of shape than that's also a red flag as well as that shows he has poor work ethic and a lack of passion for the game. Very rarely do see a great NBA player that lacks passion and work ethic. It could premature but I think Royce White is starting to look like bust.
I have watch him play down here in the RGV and when he wants to play he can really play well but he seems uninterested most of the times.
It's amazing how many people don't realized this. That's why cutting him doesn't make sense. Just keep him in the D-League until you can decline the team option on the 3rd year of his contract.
No cap space if he's cut/waived/bought out in standard fashion. I agree that I'd rather have the cap space than the attention w**** at this juncture - his authority issues alone suggest that he'll never work his way into a rotation, even if he finally becomes okay with the NBA's travel-heavy schedule. But to get that cap space, they'll have to petition the NBA to allow them to void his contract. Sadly, honestly, I don't see them being able to do that over the summer without a new incident. Their best shot was to do so in January when he was openly in breach of his contract. To try and void it over that in retrospect won't fly. Doesn't make me happy - but I anticipate he'll still be on the roster come October. Only other scenario I could envision would be to trade him, plus cash covering his entire 13/14 salary to a cap wealthy squad like Charlotte.
Can the Rockets do nothing about this ass clown? It seems like if you are being paid for something, you should actually have to do it.
Come on guys.. I'm pretty sure you can make it happen. Trade White for a 2nd round pick in 2020, and the stipulation is that the team who is getting White is protected through the first 25 picks.
