Buy DITM Calls

Here is a quote found from the Internet, however I don't quite fully understand its reasons and implications yet.

Q
A Deep in the Money LEAP doesn't have much Time Decay, but it is something to be careful of when the stock gets closer to expiration. One should never buy a DITM that is close to expiration without serious consideration.
UQ
 
Quote from OddTrader:

I am curious for: How about zero liquidity (i.e. with zero buyers) when you want to close the DITM options that you owned? What's the best way for the owner to close this (similar) kind of Far DITM (long) options?

If trading below intrinsic, often better to exercise option and simultaneously buy/sell underlying (,depending if put or call). It depends on how much below parity and commishion structure.
