Royce White will play at least 41 games next season... :lol:

Since yesterday, the 5th of July is called "The Houston Rockets day"... Aquiring Dwight Howard and trading Royce White for a 1st, this is a day!!!

And he'll give nothing straight back at you! Does Philly actually have a plan for him?

Wait? What? Trading Royce White for a 1st? They didn't acquire a first, they likely acquired a protected second rounder or something insignificant, unless I'm reading that wrong.

Rockets aren't getting anything. That pick is locked down tight enough that we probably even hear about the protection.

It was White + Cash + Rights to some Turkish player for Heavily protected pick

That Turkish player is a good rebounder btw. Can have an NBA role if he decides to show up.

Really hope Philly can keep this guy under control... even though the opposite might be much more helpful :lol:

this is a brilliant move by Hinkie

what better way to tank than to waste a roster spot on a guy who probably won't play an NBA.

Royce will be playing in Manila with Balkman, Oliver Miller, Sweetney, and Jerome James here in a few months

did rockets give up a pick? or what did they get in exchange? this one is a head scratcher.

Furkan Aldemir is a good euro prospect.

The Rockets gave up draft rights to Furkan Aldemir, who they were hoping to bring over this year, and cash to pay Royce White's salary.

The Rockets get "future consideration" in return. Basically a pick that will never materialize. Like say a Top-59 protected 2nd rounder or something. So if the Sixers don't land in the 60th out of 60 picks spot, the pick obligation expires and the Rockets get zilch.

Basically, the Rockets gave up value (Furkan Aldemir, cash) to dump Royce White in return for getting nothing ("future considerations" pick so heavily protected that it will never materialize).

Only positive that the Rockets walk away from this deal with is freed up cap space to sign Dwight.

Only negative that the Sixers walk away with is a possible frivolous lawsuit from Royce White when the contract ends and he needs to make a quick buck.
