Well I guess Austin applies to about half of them, so he's right on track.
Which makes sense since he is half white.

Nope.. He is a PF and the Pelicans are loaded at that position. Besides, I doubt he will ever play in the NBA..

probably not.
but only because there are no minutes for another pf on this team

For all Rivers struggles at least he plays.

Royce White's skillset is unique but I wouldn't want that crazy bag of frick on my favorite team.

If it was in some way guaranteed he wouldn't act totally crazy, I would make that trade in a heartbeat.
If it was only pure basketball skills taken into account, and not personality or being totally insane, White >>> Rivers any day of the week.

Rivers.
I think the White situation is very interesting. I prefer my player situations to be quite boring.
I also think the White situation next season won't be as improved as the Rivers situation will be.

Couldn't find a video, but they had a scene about that on the League:
Andre: I met this doctor, Dr. Maxwell. Real class act.
Pete: Is he...black?
Andre: How'd you know?
Pete: Nine times out of ten, when a sportscaster is referring to someone as a "class act", they're talking about a head coach who's black. "Tony Dungy, what a class act."
Kevin: "Total. Lovie Smith—class act."
Andre: I never noticed that. I mean, it happens all the time?
Kevin: It's not just football. Sportscasters use these code words in all sports. If they're talking about a Latino player in baseball, like, "Ozzie Guillen is a..."
Ruxin: Firecracker. Latin guys are always firecrackers.
Kevin: "...firecracker."
Pete: Spark plug.
Kevin: Spark plug in the clubhouse.
Ruxin: Wes Welker is like a gym rat, a real scrappy player.
Kevin: Which is code word for "white."
Ruxin: Always a white guy.
Kevin: Ichiro Suzuki is...
Taco: Inscrutable.
Also, no way in hell I take Royce White. I'd rather have a player that may take a while to develop over a player that can't play

To dump Rivers. Have you been following his season?
Posted on 1/27/13 at 8:14 pm to TheSexecutioner
Wasn't it unanimously agreed on prior to the draft that Rivers was going to be a project?
I remember that being the case

Yeah, everyone knew that he would have a lot to work on before being a good player, but he has some things you can't teach that make his potential pretty high. However, no one foresaw him being this awful.

Yes, he has a ways to go.

I swear I'm not wearing rose colored glasses, but I really think the kid may turn it around by next season. Not making a prediction, really, but I think he's got something. We'll see.

frick no.

He can drive and he has a great first step and overall speed/agility. He can drive to the rim, but he needs to learn how to finish at the rim.
This is a problem though. I have no faith (as of this moment) in his jumpshot. His form is abysmal. Can't shoot free throws for shite. Those are HUGE issues for a combo guard.

I would trade him for perry jones III

The amount of hate rivers gets is crazy. Yes I understand he's had a HORRIBLE season but he's shown flashes of what he could be with improvement. I think if this offseason he works on FT shooting and going left then he'll improve A LOT!
Plus Roberts is probably just as bad, I don't see people posting boards about how much they hate him.
But to answer your question no I wouldn't trade him for white unless white could play SF and play in every single game
