THAT'S practical thinking, but no one wants to be practical

and if he goes into cardiac arrest while in the box, then just bury it!

He could take meds but that would mess him up.

Why cardiac arrest, where does this come from?

If you need to, ship him with the whole kitten and kaboodle, doctor, the medical gadgets, it's chump change for an NBA franchise,

You can't put him under 80-100 times in 8 months! Just can't do that and think he'll be fit to play in a few hours let alone remember where he parked his car, where he lives, or his name!

Whats next for him? Join the Air Force and claim they are being "insensitive"?

After maybe the 10th or 15th time of being put under, he might realize that just growing a pair and walking on a plane is a better alternative,

the whole thing is ridiculous, cases like this need tough love, not pampering,

what Houston needs is a leader in the locker room that will beat some sense into him

I think he's stuck between wanting to make a stand and at the same time wanting the money too- always a tricky dilema!

I feel bad for White and at the same time he's picked a profession that requires frequent travel. Trying too hard to play the victim, we aren't talking about putting in a wheelchair ramp here.

He should think about playing in Europe, the distances might be easier for him to cover by bus or car, for the most part. If Royce is that good he could make a nice living there. Maybe some doctors over there might have better luck with his condition.

He should play in Serbia and see how the Partizan fans will tolerate this

Yeah, but imagine if you told them before hand that you couldn't carry a gun or learn hand to hand combat, and they still decided to employ you for millions of dollars to be an fbi agent knowing that.

then we'd deserve each other, but they'd probably still find a way to strong-arm me into carrying a gun and learning hand to hand combat if i wanted to keep a job.

Therapy isn't magic- it's very unlikely you'll get someone to go from fearing flying, to going on 80+ flights a year after only a few sessions! Ridiculous, really don't know what the rockets were thinking. Trust broke down, now he's convinced the Rockets are out to do him harm.

well this is a good way of looking at it also smack.. I didn't bother to look at it that way... good point..
