A bunch of interesting tidbits from Jason Quick

[SodaPopinski]

Second installment of his "Behind the locker room door" series on OregonLive

Some of the things I found interesting:

-Travis and B-Roy both used to play baseball
-Aldridge's nickname for B-Roy is "The Franchise"
-Aldridge is about to launch a new interactive service that allows fans to connect directly with him (not Twitter, but similar)
-B-Roy has the second longest streak in the league of consecutive 20+ point performances

This is nice. The only worry I had about Aldridge not re-signing long-term with the Blazers was that he's (by his own admission) a pretty distant person and perhaps he might not have warmed to the team and area. But if he's actively trying to connect with the fanbase, that hopefully means he sees himself being here a while.

i had no doubts that lamarcus wanted to resign here. i know he probably likes texas a lot more than portland, but damn he is favorite here.

I don't see any of the big four (Roy, Aldridge, Oden, Rudy) leaving, EVER. Paul Allen will lock them up long term for more money than they could make anywhere else, and almost guranteed title runs every year for the next decade. 2nd tier on that list would be Webster and Bayless.

Thats my thinking also. Why would any of those 4 want to leave if the other 3 were staying? They are going to get the $$$ and have a chance every season and competing for a title.

I'd drop Rudy to second tier and replace Webster with Batum. Otherwise, I generally agree with you.

the only way i see our core breaking up is lockerroom issues
