This team is going nowhere with these two on the team. Very, very bad for the Rockets.
The true transcript shows he's been misquoted:
In reality, here's the transcript of the interview.
Q: When communicating with Howard and Harden, what do you guys talk about?
A: Basically, I just say "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 think they eat oysters?
A: No..... being European, I am more likely to eat oyster than them. They eat fast food.
“They asked about the team. I tried to be funny. They asked how they (Harden and Howard) approach the team. I told them like, “Hey, they’re not with us. I stay alone.’ Then the journalists in Lithuania took the interrview and took it serious and posted my interview. I didn’t talk with no journalists. It was just a fun radio show.”
Motiejunas said on the radio show “Basically I just say ‘Hello’ and ‘goodbye’ to them.
“They eat different food from me. They eat fast food.”
Motiejunas, however, said he actually does often dine with his teammates, including Howard and Harden.
“We never have problems,” Motiejunas said. “For example, last year Dwight invited me and other players to Thanksgiving dinner. James and Dwight bought us give us gifts for Christmas. We go to eat most of the all of the time. I talked with Dwight today. I talk to Dwight all the time. He said he understands. Me and Dwight, we communicate pretty good in the locker room. I never had a problem.
“We hang out all the time. I never got in a fight with anyone. I never got in a word fight with anyone. That’s not nice to take that radio speech like that. I spent like 30 minutes with them. We laughed for 25 minutes. You cannot take it as a serious interview. It doesn’t make any sense.”
