    I heard the new J.Cole in the locker room the other night, but for the most part, guys listen to music with headphones. Rarely is music played in the locker room.

    The Blazers seem to be a pretty tight-knit group. As far as you know, does that extend to off the court as well as on?

    What's the best, random old school Blazers jersey you own? (more obscure the better)

    Who comes up with the designs for the game-night special edition T-shirts.

    Also, why did they only make 6 of the PDX Carpet Edition shirts?

    How close was Oden to the rest of the guys on the team after he was injured. Seemed to be really distant from everyone?

    Casey,

    I'm sorry for asking, but if I didn't, someone else was going to: why does Quick still have a job? Beyond that, why is he still allowed around the Blazers?

    Nobody seems to like him much these days.

    For the most part. Players don't hang out with each other off the court as much as I think people assume they do (they already spend a whole lot of time with each other for work), but I think they're pretty close.

    I don't own a single jersey. Never been a jersey guy.

    I believe most of the ideas come from the person who runs our retail store. They made a normal run of the carpet tshirts, they just sold out a whole lot faster than most of the shirt of the night options.

    do you think the players would welcome a ring-shopper (Jermaine, Ray Allen, etc) mid-season at the expense of someone like Claver or Barton?

    do you get to see the halftime speeches or postgame before-the-media-crush time?

    Yes, Quick still works for the Oregonian. My understanding is that he splits his time writing stories on various beats.

    Ha! No, no locker room at halftime for me, or anyone for that matter.

    Predict the next 3 seasons for Portland. Basically where they will be as far as being an elite team, where they will exit in the playoffs (IF AT ALL, BRO), etc.

    tongue-in-cheek, but has Stotts called you in to ask for coaching advice like Nate did with Canzano?

    And you'd have a Rippy Award by now if Sly had sent me the list of categories and winners when I first asked for them, lol...

    I'm not asking you to spill secrets, but is the upcoming contract situation this summer something you've ever heard players talking about?
