You may see that way.

Not everyone does.

If he would shut the **** up, and work with the rockets I'm sure something can be resolved.

I got no problem trying to accommodate his needs. But knocking up chicks, not working on his game, and not putting his heart into it isn't the way to stick around in the NBA. I don't blame the rockets one bit.

Enh.

Royce uses his mental illness as a shield,

its his arrogance, lack of work ethic, and sense of entitlement people can't stand.

I feel bad for him, because I feel like his false arrogance/ego is really just a way of covering up how insecure he feels inside. You think it doesn't bother him that he has everything anybody could want right at his fingertips, yet he might end us screwing it up because of a problem he can't control? It's probably tearing him up every day. People think this guy is like Bynum just diddybopping around and pissing people off without a care in the world. Nah man, he probably cries himself to sleep at night.

Dude is wyling with the baby mamas but, sometimes smashing raw is the only joy a man can have in this world.

I wish any of y'all knew what it's like to deal with mental illness. Then you'd see how grossly insensitive y'all are being. Mental illness isn't a choice, and it isn't easy to deal with :smh:

My only problem with Royce is how he handles himself with media. He's so busy trying to expose the rockets instead of working with them.

There are people in real world settings that don't make millions for playing a sport that suck it up and get on with it. Why can't Royce? Dude is *****made
 
Minimum for Nate , after all the heart and maturity he showed this year :smh:

That's why I can't be mad at dudes for holding teams hostage , demanding trades, holdouts etc because those GMs can be ruthless sometimes. I never ever comment about salaries because bad contracts are a part of sports, but with all the lames stealing from the logo Nate deserves better than that.

I grew to be a Royce White supporter while he was in college, but I don't like what I see so far.

Anxiety aside, impregnating multiple women shows lack of responsibility and little concern for the growth of his basketball career.

Rumors of his weight ballooning make me question his conditioning program and work ethic.

Lastly, he should be putting up thousands of jumpers a day if he's not playing regular season games. His perimeter shot lacks range and consistency.
 
Ma I just went through a range of emotions while reading this thread.

After seeing whats happened the last two days, its obvious we're sticking with out same old philosophy of minor off season activity so I'm going to stop worrying about it. Now I want to see whats going on with us and Summer League.

WAY too much truth spoken in this post. I couldn't have put it better myself.

Having been close to this my whole life through my own family, mental illness is arguably the worst type of illness a human being can be cursed with.

I'll leave it at that.

DEVELOPING: Warriors trying to clear cap space, hoping to increase their chance to sign Dwight Howard » http://es.pn/10Cvq0B

Warriors step up pursuit of Howard

The Golden State Warriors, increasingly convinced they have a legitimate shot at winning the Dwight Howard sweepstakes, have begun aggressively attempting to trade away players to clear the requisite salary-cap space to sign the All-Star center, according to sources with knowledge of the team's thinking.

The Warriors were one of five teams granted the opportunity to recruit Howard in an in-person meeting this week. ESPN.com reported Wednesday that, in perhaps the first surprising development in the wake of those meetings, Warriors officials "made an impression" on Howard to the point that they had gained ground on the two teams -- the Houston Rockets and Dallas Mavericks -- widely presumed to have the only legitimate shot at stealing Howard away from the Lakers.

But Golden State's hopes of actually acquiring Howard always have been clouded by the fact they would need the Lakers to agree to a sign-and-trade.

The Lakers have been adamant for weeks they would prefer to let Howard leave for nothing and bank the resultant salary-cap space in the summer of 2014, with many rival executives likewise convinced that L.A. would have real reservations about helping Howard land with a division rival. So sources say that the Warriors, in an effort to manufacture some financial flexibility to help their chances, have begun calling teams with salary-cap space to try to entice them to take expiring contracts off their books so they can clear a $20 million hole for Howard.

Such a scenario would be challenging, some executives have said, but not impossible. The Warriors have three huge expiring contracts in Andrew Bogut ($14 million), Richard Jefferson ($11 million) and Andris Biedrins ($9 million). According to sources, they have tried to unload all three players this week to teams with cap room. Yet, Golden State likely would have to be willing to add assets to any potential deals to get teams interested. Sources say the Warriors have been willing to attach a future first-round pick to move one of their bad contracts since last February's trade deadline, but potential partners tend to ask for prized youngsters such as Harrison Barnes or Klay Thompson -- two of the more attractive young players in the league -- when the subject of absorbing one of the Warriors' big contracts is broached.

A source close to the talks said Howard is expected to make his decision by Friday.

Sources say the Warriors got Howard's attention during this week thanks to their pitch, which featured owner Joe Lacob, coach Mark Jackson, general manager Bob Myers and special Warriors consultant Jerry West.

Sources say the bigger threats to the Lakers, though, still appear to be Houston and Dallas unless Golden State can address its financial limitations. The Rockets offer the immediate lure of playing alongside James Harden and a promise from Houston's front office to keep adding championship-level talent, whereas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban is urging Howard to join proven ring winners in Dirk Nowitzki and coach Rick Carlisle -- with Nowitzki also vowing to take a significant pay cut in the summer of 2014 that creates the needed salary-cap space for the Mavs to sign another star.

Would cost Warriors a bunch of picks.. And no way teams don't pry Klay & Barnes if they have to eat those contracts with no relief from Warriors.
 
Amnesty Salmons, trade for Bogut+Jefferson+Barnes for Jimmer or Young Zeke and picks.

Do it D'Lassandro!!!!!!!!!
 
I like how the ESPN story is "developing" but says they've been trying to do this since February. Another example of just making up news.
 
Only way warriors are clearing space is if dwights people gave them a go ahead that he'd sign there
