it is a severe issue, but at the same time why declare yourself for the draft? He is basically ****ing houston for wasting their 16th pick on him. Find another line of work and move on.

At least they're getting some of their money back.With White blaming the Rockets for failing to consistently support his treatment for anxiety issues, White is being fined every day he remains away from the team or fails to attend sessions with a therapist the Rockets have arranged for him, a person with knowledge of the situation said.
SourceWhite has not played in any game this season and has been on the inactive list for the past four games. Morey told White in those meetings that other players had earned playing time before him. White, however, argued that he was not given enough opportunity to demonstrate that he could earn a place in the rotation, increasingly saying the Rockets were holding his anxiety disorder against him and that he was being treated as a commodity, a position he has repeated in Tweets following Tuesday’s reports about White missing practices.
Anxiety or not, he's being a baby.
i thought him demanding to take the bus is an unreasonable demand. does he have any idea how much money and logistics has to go into the Rockets arranging a bus just for him? how many practice he will miss because he has to leave for a game days ahead of everyone else? if his health issue prevents him for traveling long distance, maybe he should consider a career that doesn't require him to travel?
While I don't necessarily know that having a therapist would help someone with anxiety, how many other players in the NBA get special treatment like this? At least the Rockets are trying to understand his concerns and are providing a medical professional to help him. He clearly doesn't see it that way.With White blaming the Rockets for failing to consistently support his treatment for anxiety issues, White is being fined every day he remains away from the team or fails to attend sessions with a therapist the Rockets have arranged for him, a person with knowledge of the situation said.
And this part really infuriates me, because it's clear that both Terrence Jones and Donatas Motiejunas outplayed him in the Summer League and preseason. Yet neither guy is getting hardly any minutes on the floor and neither of them is *****ing about it on twitter or claiming that they're being wrongly mistreated.White has not played in any game this season and has been on the inactive list for the past four games.

Look at Marcus Morris. The Rockets' coaching staff did the same thing to him last season when he didn't earn a spot in the rotation early on. But did he complain about it on twitter or fail to show up to practice? No. The dude killed it in the D-League, worked hard in the offseason, stepped his game up this preseason and has become a valuable rotational player for the Rockets.
White just wants to play the victim card to avoid taking responsibility.

Few years back I needed an MRI, I started having an anxiety attack during the MRI. They had to reschedule and gave me a prescription for something to take about a half hour before the MRI to relax me. Within 1 minute of taking it my *** was knocked the F out. When I woke up it was hours later and I had completed the MRI long before waking up. Granted they told me to take half of 1 pill and I took entire pill. Just saying worked for me maybe that's what he needs to do.
does he have anxiety over answering his phone. can't he pay someone to be his contact w/ the rockets?
Soft. Dude is soft.
He shouldn't be in the league
Since I was absolutely destroyed for saying things that a few others found insensitive regarding Royce, I will leave it at this:
If you have a fear of flying, and anxiety that you can not control, that is terrible, but the NBA is probably not for you. Become an IT nerd where you don't need to travel or deal with people.
If you want the ultimate, you've got to be willing to pay the ultimate price. It's not tragic to die doing what you love.
No wonder he's staying away, they keep trying to lock him in a room with the rapist.
Big THX to MJ's Bulls and pheagles10 on the sig help!
Dear T-Mac,
I miss you.
Love,
The Rim
Royce White.
