    He's gotta drop the no-fly rule of his.

    Heavy sedatives before every plane ride?

    He should start doing it John Madden and Tony Kornheiser style and get a motor home and hire some drivers. Maybe he can hire Jeff Van Gundy to drive.

    That really was no pun intended. So I can't take credit if any was indeed merited.

    Maybe the Heat will waive Beasley and pick up White.

    If Larry Brown was still coaching NBA he'd be after him. He loved soft guys with skillz, like Stanley Roberts and Hot Plate Williams.

    I just don't see White doing well in Portland. Very much an overlap player.

    Especially since we fly more miles than any other team in the league.

    The Lakers should take a flyer on him. They got nothing to lose this year and with the Clippers and Golden State being in state, he could make a lot of the games by car. Basically lose him for east coast road trips.

    If he is good, it would be worth it (assuming he isn't a head case in the locker room)

    That must be some next level fear of heights/enclosed spaces/crashing.

    Really sad. Before the draft I thought Philly would be the best place for him because they're so close to several other NBA cities.

    The guy got tossed from a game earlier this week for going off on the opposing bench, and this was after he actually played well. It doesn't take a genius to think that a player as emotionally fragile as White is going to get head games from players on the other team, and clearly he doesn't have the mental capacity to deal with the verbal abuse.

    Of course, he's just not very good, either, which may have something to do with him being cut.

    The guy has more mental problems than just a fear of flying. You know anyone like that, Realist?

    I'm surprised he played preseason, but I stick to my prediction of last summer that he will never play an NBA game. (I guess I meant, regular season.)

    I think we can both relate to that question, but I'm not sure why it had to be brought up in a thread about Royce White.

    The guy just isn't nearly gifted enough to be worth the headache.

    He's Paul Millsap on his best day, which is very nice NBA player, yet Justin Bieber on his worst day, which is hilarious in terms of the immaturity and drama while pretending to play ball. Not worth it at all, but someone will give him a 10-day contract later this season.
