    D-Mo was the nickname used by Rockets staff last year after the draft. That's probably the one that will stick.

    Treviso? He's played for Prokom for the last year now...


    Also, Donce (doe-n say) is his real nickname.

    So he has to go through them to get the buyout going? That makes sense...

    And to expound upon that - if he hadn't signed with Prokom, he would have been under Treviso club control for this season anyway? As in he would have had a larger buyout for the 2011-2012 season than he will this year?

    Had he not signed with Prokom he indeed would still have been under contract with Treviso, though from what I understand he wanted to play in the Euroleague no matter what and Treviso wasn't going to hinder him. It just so happened that he ultimately signed with Prokom.

    I don't know anything about the buyout specifics. Buyouts can structured very differently. It may or may not have been higher last year.

    He does not deserve a nickname. He does not even deserve a name. His name is Reek, it rhymes with weak.

    Ugh, the whole first letter of first name + first syllable of last name nickname thing is so so played out.

    Just stop it already.
