    "Will you give fans a portion of your contract money when we miss the playoffs?" should be the only question asked... I've never been so close to turning into MIXUM before.

    I still need a few more good questions before I send this off.

    And by good I mean not angry or things about his mother, grandmother or whatever odd kinks some of you seem to have.

    Have you changed the way you play without LA? Meaning have you intentionally changed your role? Do you feel more pressure to produce?

    What do you view your role on this team? Do you try to fit in, or do you see yourself as part of a troika, along with LA and Dame?

    Does leadership come easily for you, or do you prefer to let others lead? Does the language or cultural barrier affect your role?

    Is there any player you've taken under your wing on this team?

    On which part of your game did you work last summer? On which parts can you improve?

    What are your thoughts on leading the league in distance run per game?

    Can we go further than folks think in the playoffs this season?
    What's the toughest place to play on the road?
    Who's the most improved bench player this season, (not the vets, the young guys)
    What must you have from France in your home in Portland that is difficult to get here?

    Who defends you well, but you don't want to admit it and encourage him?
    What are your favorite cities to visit in the NBA? In Europe outside of France?
    How many people in Portland speak French as well as a Frenchman? (estimate)
    Have you ever visited a French class in an American school? Has any school invited you?

    If you buy a sport coat off the rack does it look like this?

    Did you give Rudy and Sergio a hard time when they showed up wearing matching sweaters?

    KFC, or Popeye's?

    How good was that steak they served at the "meet the players" dinner in Las Vegas during your first Summer League?

    With all the things going on the Batum interview hasn't happened yet. We have an opportunity to submit a few more. Might be nice to add some playoff related ones.

    What did you learn during your world championship run (or whatever it was France won) that you can apply to the Playoffs?
    Is there anything you learned from your first-round exits under Nate McMillan that will help you avoid another first round exit this season?

    Re-word as you see fit.
