So all it took was cash and draft rights to a Euro, and they took White?

I can only assume the 76ers are planning on giving him a welcome basket with a loaded handgun and handle of vodka, then cashing in an insurance policy.

Rockets also kicked in a couple of spare bus tires.

It's pretty clear the 76ers are tanking for 2013-14

Rox have to pay his contract? So Houston gave up Aldemir and whatever and didn't even get the benefit of not paying this guys contract? How does that work?

I would think that if the Rox have to pay this guys contract, that the trade should just be rescinded and Houston should get their euro-guy back...

The euro-guy was the cost of avoiding a lengthy lawsuit. Its clear that White had no intentions to ever play basketball and he was just working up a scenario where he could sue the rockets for termination due to disability.

The rockets realized this was happening and probably made an under the table deal with Sam Hinkie so that the 76ers could essentially cut him for the Rockets.

Guess who is the only player from Round 1 of the 2012 draft who has not logged a single minute of playing time in the NBA?

^^ In response to your question- he was considered a high potential dude. We took that risk- failed.

But if you were being rhetoric...
