He posts about 50 times per day. Mostly retweeting hate messages toward him.

Royce White would like to play

By Henry Abbott | ESPN.com

Houston Rockets first-round pick Royce White would like to play for the team, but until Houston and the league come up with a protocol for treating mental health, his chances of never playing in the NBA are "very high."

By the same token, White does not blame the Rockets for the mental health care impasse that has kept him from playing.

"The reality is that it is not Houston's fault," White said on SiriusXM's "Off the Dribble" show. "As much as we always want to try and blame one side or the other ... they've been thrown into a position now where they're forced to make things up as they go because a protocol has not been put in place for mental health up until this point."

White, the 16th overall pick in the June draft who played well in Summer League but has yet to play in a regular-season NBA game, has a well-known fear of flying, part of a larger anxiety disorder. He and the team have been working with experts to devise an appropriate treatment plan, likely to include some travel by bus or car instead of on the team plane. Repeatedly White has resisted the team's directives to spend time with the Rockets' D-League affiliate, the Rio Grande Valley Vipers.

Nevertheless, the former Iowa State standout is not seeking a trade.

"I don't really think going to another team is something that would be better," White told the show. "And it's not something that I want to do. I want to play for Houston. I love the city of Houston. Since I've been here, the fans have been nothing but supportive -- that I've met in person. Twitter has been different. The fans that I've met in person have been supportive. The community here is great. I have a lot of friends that work in the organization, in the building, that aren't even related to practice or the game, so to speak. So I have no intention or desire to play for another team."

The 21-year-old forward asserts the issue he has with the Rockets would exist for any team.

"There's no mental health protocol here, for not only the Rockets but the entire league, really. I expressed that that's really unsafe if you think about it," he said. "So, basically, I'm fighting to have that rectified. I just don't think it is OK or responsible or even logical to have GMs or any front office personnel have executive authority in medical situations."

jesus...maybe i'm in the minority but i don't really find any of this interesting or entertaining in any way..yeah the guy is a nutjob
who gives a shit if he ever plays, is he really that good or something?
houston has a pretty solid and fairly deep team, would there really be any playing time for him anyway?

just seems like this has been going on for a LONG time with this guy, wish he would just go away

Rockets suspend Royce White

HOUSTON -- The Houston Rockets have suspended first-round pick Royce White for "refusing to provide services" required by his contract.

General manager Daryl Morey said Sunday that the team will continue to work with White in hopes of finding a resolution.

Last week, White refused his assignment to Houston's D-League affiliate. The 16th overall pick in the June draft has spent most of the season on Houston's inactive list while he and the team figure out how to handle his anxiety disorder and overall mental health.

The 6-foot-8 White missed the first week of training camp. He flew to Detroit with the team for the season opener and then traveled by bus to Atlanta and Memphis for games. But he soon stopped participating in team activities, saying his mental health took precedence over his NBA career.

Let me say it again, . UNSAFE 4 ANY PLAYER, when management takes exec. authority in a medical situation. Its a conflict of interest.

How much easier would it be to implement a protocol that gives Docs ONLY, executive authority in medical situations? Easy & Logical *shrug*

Pekovic is out 7-10 days.

Alexy Shved might miss some time too.

This team is screwed.

Royce White Interview on Grantland.

Do you believe 26 percent of the league is dealing with a mental illness, or does mental illness prompt those dealing with it to self-select themselves out of the pool? Are you the rare exception who got drafted?

The amount of NBA players with mental health disorders is way over 26 percent. My suggestion would be to ask David Stern how many players in the league he thinks have a marijuana problem. Whatever number he gives you, that's the number with mental illness. A chemical imbalance is a mental illness.

So, wait … if somebody has a drinking problem, is that —

That's a mental illness. A gambling addiction is a mental illness. Addiction is a mental illness.

As for whether the Wolves could move guard Brandon Roy's contract, Taylor didn't rule it out. He also confirmed that Wolves president of basketball operations David Kahn has engaged Roy's agent, Greg Lawrence, in buyout talks. When asked for comment via e-mail, Kahn said, "I think I was pretty clear when I spoke to the media back in late December that I was clear with Brandon that every option was on the table and would be discussed."

What a horrible decision the Wolves made on Roy. Surprised they haven't gone balls out yet for Greg Oden.

Yeah, that was bad money. He probably would have signed somewhere for near the minimum and a 1 year deal, and it would have been low-risk. but a high possible reward.

I would have liked the Bulls to sign him for a minimum or near minimum deal. It would of been worth the risk at the time.

If you can't make that Sixers roster you are probably just not great at basketball in addition to being an anxious asswipe.

What is up with the Wolves? Great roster, but they can never seem to be in the hunt. Not sure how Bagels can continue to watch this..

Does Adelman need to go?

hey, they had a big win at Golden State on Saturday

there's still plenty of time to recover. the __ losses by under 5 points or whatever that stat they keep pulling out...yeah it's bad but again, I don't think it's *that* bad- it shows they are in all of those games and that their record could be a hell of a lot better. now granted, it isn't...but i think they'll make the playoffs

big problem is always going to be Rubio's shooting...hopefully at some point in his career he can improve it, I mean Kidd did , hell even Rondo is better
