Counting down to the post suggesting that Spurs can obtain White with scrap pieces and he will turn straight under Pop/Duncan blah blah blah.

There aren't nearly enough shrinks in San Antonio to deal with that head case. If you read any of his rants, it's clear that he's a textbook example of a 'spoiled - entitled' person and he thinks the NBA should just give in to his desires.

The only person looking more foolish is Morey for drafting him

I'd rather have both Cousins and World Peace before him.

In Morey's defense, White didn't miss any games with Iowa State the year before. There were conversations between the Rockets and ISU's coach. It was a risk, but a calculated one.

Dude has a lot of talent, but it seems that signing a contract for millions made him feel special. His attitude (via Twitter) shows that he think that the Rockets should do whatever HE says he needs.

He is certainly not advancing the perception of those who suffer anxiety disorders.

It appears that Royce White can finally get back to playing basketball.

White was reinstated by the Houston Rockets and will report to the team's D-League affiliate, the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, on Feb. 11, according to a joint statement released Saturday by the Rockets and White.

White has been inactive all season, and the team suspended the rookie forward on Jan. 6 after he refused an initial assignment to Rio Grande Valley. The sides "reached an agreement that addresses the major issues" facing White and the Rockets, the statement said.

Neither the Rockets nor White offered any details of the agreement, but the statement said it had been approved by the league and the players' union.

The Rockets drafted White out of Iowa State with the No. 16 pick in the June draft. He has not played this season while he and the team tried to work out a suitable arrangement for White to manage an anxiety disorder while playing in the NBA.
