    From the outside looking in, I am not impressed with how Dmo's agent is handling the situation. I think he could have done a much better job for his client. Not this out of sight out of mind stuff when noone is talking about it.

    DMo knows he is getting a big raise no matter what - is probably enjoying life a little bit, and there is time still.

    Malakas, seems you've been away awhile. Disappeared in early August, resurfaced recently (no stalking, just double-checked in case it was my imagination).

    Part of the European everyone-goes-on-vacation-in-August thing? (In Italy it's called "Ferragosto", I believe, as if August vacation is set in iron. Don't know if there's a particular name for it in Greece.)

    Can't say you missed anything in your hiatus.

    Anyway, yes, the DMo drag-it-out situation is odd; but is it because of the agent or is DMo wanted by one of a few teams and will be signed-and-traded in the deal Morey likes best?

    Just wondering, and not saying you or anyone else knows.

    Yo, you still like Aaron Brooks more than Kyle Lowry? :cool:

    You only wished you had some sauce for those ribs.

    Yes I know. I've been half assing these responses from an IPhone the past few weeks. Thanks for clarifying for everyone though. The point is DMo probably has a couple more weeks to go until they have some type of deadline or whatever you want to call it to force them to the table. No reason to expect a deal "any day now".

    haha yes. 15th August is the most important public holiday and there are feasts all around the country so absolutely everyone goes on vacation around that time to islands. All the cities are almost empty.

    Not that there was much anything to talk about since there have been almost no news about DMO anyway.

    On average of course ;)

    James Harden. Came here on the final year of his rookie deal and was extended.

    Or do you mean rookie that we drafted who stayed 4 years and then signed an extension?
    Not many of them even make it to 4 years here!

    There's a video of Harden playing NBA2K17 and he shoots a 3 with DMO and says "we need you back MoMo"

    Its sarcasm. Harden was actually playing Skyrim and stabbed all the Motijuenas in that game.

    I think he did say that. And he also had himself spotted up in the opposite corner relinquishing PG duties.

    But he also had Beverley play some horrible transition defense after the made three.

    DMo saw the post and responded with "Same here" to "we love you"
