Houston Rockets Trading Royce White to the Philadelphia Sixers

To make room for Dwight Howard’s contract, and to get rid of an ongoing nightmare, the Houston Rockets will ship Royce White to Philly. The Sixers will give up future draft considerations. Per Yahoo! Sports: “The moves clears White’s $1.7 million contract for next season, giving the Rockets further flexibility to deliver a maximum contract offer to free-agent star Dwight Howard. Along with White, who clashed with the organization and never played a minute in the regular season, the Rockets will send the draft rights to an international prospect and cash. White, the 16th overall pick in the 2012 draft, has an anxiety disorder that has limited his ability to participate in the NBA. He spent most of the season suspended or playing with Houston’s D-League affiliate.”
