    When you're having an off-night shooting, are you able to tell why? Is it a form related inconsistency that pops up sometimes?

    Which shoe do you think was more comfortable, the D Lillard 1s or the D Lillard 2s?

    Do you plan on releasing a studio album anytime soon? And when you do, do you plan on trying to get some big-name artists to feature on the album, or are you gonna keep it within the family, with guys you've worked with before? (Brookfield Duece, etc.)

    I know it is often referenced that Portland is a "boring" city for young rich people of color (such as myself). Does that really affect the free agency recruiting process or is that just in the minds of talking heads?

    Have you gone out and enjoyed Oregon's nature, such as the coast or Beautiful Central Oregon or going fishing or anything like that in the offseason at all?

    1. You've been in CJ's shoes in the past, where you were an up-and-coming player coming into your own around an established star. How has that experience affected your current relationship with CJ?
    2. You and CJ averaged 45ppg last year. Do you see that going up as CJ continues to establish himself?
    3. If yes, that probably puts you at around 50ppg. That's Shaq/Kobe, Durant/Westbrook, and Curry/Klay territory. Teams with two guys scoring 50ppg tend to be top 1-3 teams in the league. Is that a worthwhile goal this year?
    4. I have you as a dark horse contender for NBA league scoring leader, right there with Westbrook and Harden. Do you see that?
    5. You, CJ, Napier, Frazier--all underrated four-year college guards who have beaten expectations. Why has Portland succeeded at this while others haven't? Is it a better drafting strategy, or is it something Stotts does as a coach?
    6. The rap career, the shoes, the trips to San Diego with your teammates. You have a lot of outlets outside of the NBA. Are there others the media doesn't cover?

    Has James Cordon contacted you yet about doing an episode of Carpool Karaoke with him? You are a great role model like most of the other celebrities that have been on it. With how well spoken, and quick witted as you are, I think it could be a very funny show.

    Favorite all time Harlem Globetrotter.....why don't more unsigned NBA players become Globe Trotters? Would you ever welcome an NBA legends seniors tour if it were 3 on 3 say...half court....sort of like Men's Tennis or Golf..?

    There are only 20 roster spots on the Globetrotters, most play on the team for multiple years so I'm guessing there are probably only 2-5 open roster spots a year.

    Dame,

    Obviously expectations have skyrocketed after the surprising season of last year. With the new additions we have, there seems to be a bit of a log jam in a couple of positions sparking many trade rumors. Without having to name names on the Blazer's roster, If a consolidation trade were to happen for us to try to bring in a third big time player to put next to you and CJ, who in the league would you think would be the best fit and why?

    Will you consider tricking Drake into collaborating on a pro Blazers, anti Raptors YouTube song?
