    Thank u for clearing this matter up. The media always misinterprets anything and runs with the story without fact checking

    For future interviews, D-Mo, repeat ad nauseum: Aš tiesiog čia bando būti geriausias komandos draugas galiu būti ir aš gonna darbą sunkiai daro, kad.

    Google translation:
    I’m just out here trying to be the best teammate I can be and I’m gonna work hard at doing that.

    Why is "Hi&bye" professional relationship is bad?
    When you spend whole day with your work mates, you maybe want some personal, alone time, especially if you are team leader and everyone attention is always forward to you. This looks pretty normal if you ask me.

    We have chemistry but that doesn't show on the stats so is not a concern. #nerdstats

    Here's what D-Mo actually said (lithuanian translation from reddit)

    Q: When communicating with Howard and Harden, what do you talk about?
    A: Basically I say just "Hello" and "Goodbye" to them.

    Q: They don't invite you to barbecue or something?
    A: No, they eat different food than me.

    Q: What? Do you mean they eat oysters?
    A: No... being European, I am more likely to eat oyster than them. They eat fast food."

    You have to understand that radio show Donatas is participating is not serious and with a lot of fun interviews and prank calls etc.

    Better translation with some context would be:
    Interviewer: What are your relationship with Harden or Howard?
    DMo: Hello and goodbye. (laughing)
    Interviewer: Really? They are such stars?
    DMo: No actually...
    Interviewer (trying to mock Americans): ...do they say to you "Hey man, how are you doing? Would you like a sandwich?" (laughing)
    DMo: No, never happens.
    Interviewer: They never offered you BBQ or something?
    DMo: Hardly, they actualy eat in other places, other kind of food.
    Interviewer: Really? You mean oysters? (laughing)
    DMo: No, I mean I would probably eat oysters myself, they do like so called fast food more.
    Interviewer: Once you said "Catch me if you can" to Howard. How did he react to this?
    DMo: Yeah, we mocked each other and laughed at it during workouts.
    Interviewer: Does he say something similar to you?
    DMo: Well, he is actually very funny guy, I would call him soul of the team, he is a guy I'm really happy to have in locker room

    Seriously? Is this legit? This got twisted into that Twitter thread and stories were written about this that Howard and Harden didn't want to eat with Dmo? From this? wow.

    Either that or they try to sensationalize for clicks on the website. It worked right?

    Shame on those lazy reporters, picking up what one person says on their twitter and running with it without doing any background.
