    Casey, as a sneaker head what do you think of Lillard's shoes?

    Style?

    Price?

    I really don't know how much I'd believe either of those rumors (does a mention in a Zach Lowe tweet even qualify as a "rumor?") ever existed. To me, there's a pretty big difference between "Player X is available for a first round pick" and "Team X is interested in Player X but doesn't want to give up a first round pick." I think the two might be getting conflated just a bit.

    In general, I think the Blazers are in a strong enough position that they can hold off on trades until closer to the deadline when prices tend to drop.

    Hey Casey, would you mind sharing your favorite or best behind that scenes moment so far this year that we wouldn't have heard about?

    I think it's a nice shoe, especially for a first signature. I don't really care for the first colorway, but the "home" colorway, the "New York" colorway and the all-red colorway are great. I've got a pair of the reds and am waiting for just the right time to debut them. Wearing new sneakers in the winter is tough for a dork like me.

    As for the price, it's crazy that $105 is "affordable" when it comes to sneakers these days, but that's the age we're living in.

    Yes it was a good response. I was hoping for gossip.

    I think most groupie work takes place somewhere else, because I only see family and friends around the locker room.

    How open are MB and Rice (and yourself) to meeting Blazer fans on the road? Any chance to get pics (or swag)? Missed my shot in Indy this year but for future reference...

    Well, I don't know that it necessarily qualifies, but after we the Spurs eliminated the team in Game 5 in San Antonio, I went down to the hotel bar to find almost the entire team and coaching staff having a drink. It was nice to sit with the everyone, enjoy a cocktail and reflect on what they accomplished. Wes bought me a gin and tonic.

    Absolutely. We all appreciate fans coming to road games and very much enjoy the opportunity to say hello, take photos, whatever. There are some stops where I see the same fans every year.

    Casey,

    You should do this more often. Or regularly.

    ;)

    I don't think serious and funny are mutually exclusive.
