I think that Fav has already made up for Fab, but I like the idea of Royce replacing Fab for us in last year's draft.

If Wallace has lingering foot issues , the team is going to need another sf.....

[VitorSullyandKOFan]

He's talented but I doubt we're going over the luxury tax to sign him.

Wallace has foot issues?

[manl_lui]

love his talent, but definitely a high risk. He has yet to convince me that he can travel freely for games. Until he does that, I am not sure if other teams will take that risk

This guy is almost like a running joke in the league now.

I feel for him and his anxiety and mental problems, but his antics last season was just ridiculous.

The irony is, if he played overseas, lets say, Europe or Asia, he wouldn't do much air travelling to get to games, just a team bus going to different cities. 

But how is he gonna get to Europe or Asia without flying....

I wouldn't consider him a high risk it all. Not when he'll likely sign somewhere for a non-guaranteed minimum contract where he can be easily waived.

[hpantazo]

Signing him to a non-guaranteed deal is a no-brainer for a team in our situation as long as it doesn't put us into the luxury tax.

he'll have to get on a boat lol

[Tr1boy]

He is done.

He could play in europe or china but can't fly

He still made approx 3 million in two years.  He better hire a good financial advisor

From last month:

"I think the most glaring [misconception], probably, from paying attention to the public opinions has to be that I can't fly," White said. "(A) that I don't want to fly. And (B) that I won't fly by choice."

I'd like to know more about the story here. That Sixers roster is starved for talent.

Did Philly think White was going to demand playing time that he didn't deserve? Is he just not talented? Was his condition too much of a burden/distraction for the club?

Aside from his mental issues, he has been absolutely horrible in the preseason.  If he showed anything at all, he wouldn't have been cut.
