He injured his knee while getting that haircut.

ESPN reports Royce White is ready to walk away from NBA. He tweeted that it's not true, but is a possibility.
He's been totally unprofessional this far, but I love him for this. Getting drafted in the first round and retiring in a few months after not even playing a single minute in his career. He is unique, that's for sure.

^ Now he's officially doing more harm for the mental health community than good. Last year he was a saint at Iowa State. He always said the right things, he was inspirational, and he was great on the floor. Now he just looks like a crazy person IMO.

Just walk away from a 7 figure salary. Good decision for you and your family. I hope he wakes up in time before he screws up his life forever. I can't imagine it will come to him retiring but like Luka said, it would be epic and I'd look forward to his 30for30 documentary.

lol first thing I thought of was a 30for30 coming within the next week considering how big this news is

Sidney Deane did it after 3 gms and he was a 15th pick.

He prob doesn't wanna play for the rockets. Team full of fgts

Sure.

The Rockets would be a great team to play for I think. First of all, Houston is a nice city for a professional athlete to live in. No state income tax, houses aren't too expensive, nice climate, etc. The team seems like a bunch of good dudes too. How can you not get along with Parsons? I don't think Lin is very good but he seems like an incredibly nice kid. I'm not sure how Harden is...I could see him being a little cocky and full of himself but whatever.

The 30For30 on Royce is coming, regardless of what happens in the next few days IMO. This story is too bizarre and fascinating.

Meh I blame rockets front office. I don't see how he can go from saint to this

Royce wants guaranteed playing time and Rockets want him to improve his game and show commitment to the team. They essentially want him to earn his spot, but Royce doesn't want to do it.

Royce looked a little overweight in the preseason too. Certainly looked heavier than his playing weight last year.

Major disappointment all the way around. At least he made 3rd team all-NBA on ISBA year 1.

Scooped 5 awards in his rookie year. #success

Some guy saw him a couple of days ago buying cookies at a Houston mall.

Yep I'm blaming the rockets lol. Trying to tell a mentally unstable person what to do, what could go wrong?

Dudes a top pick, just let him play into his role or play himself out of the NBA imo

now Shabazz Muhammad is eligible to play...

UCLA back to being a contender.


I was excited when I heard Royce was going to the dleague tbh. He needs time on the court. Plus his team was coming to play the Texas Legends soon. :)

What a year for ucla sports. Good to see that douchenozzle kiffin get shot down to reality like 5 times this year

kinda makes me wanna go to ucla

Report: 76ers' Bynum re-injured himself while bowling
I just punched a kitten.

15th pick here we come babeeeeeee.

Another wasted season ffs, 1st/2nd round exit, draft mediocre player and stay mediocre, awesome. On the other hand his value just went down, just like Steph Curry, might be able to sign him to a something less than 16 mil a year.

Tank like Hornets or GSW last year, some nice players in top 10 nxt year.

Bryan has 5 SG-s and Favors down low, so he won't miss Burks and Kanter as much. Royce will help him because he doesn't have a true point guard on the team.

Wrong thread broski. He has Favours, Al, Millsap down low, Burks is his best and most promising sg. White is a point forward without a shot and no potential (according to 2k). But he's a #all-life team member, so I guess hes worth more.

I was replying over the phone, my bad.

Hayward is most promising, he also signed Michael Redd. White's overall will go up by 3 every year the next 4-5 years. :royce1:

It won't I simmed offline about 4-5 seasons, he gets no skills and goes about +5 overal. But then again if hes user controlled and upgraded in every offseason he'll go up, like any other player. Forgot about Redd. :sir:

The Future playing like trash :george2:

You'd think he'd step up in Grangers absence.

Bynum: 'I think it happened bowling'
He then added: “I’m kind of taking the position that if that happens bowling, what happens while dunking?"

Screw Bynum, ET taking over
