Have you ever seen anyone vomit on the job?

Does LaMarcus 'Y'Know' as much behind the scenes, as much as he does in interviews - or is it exacerbated by the attention at the time of interview. . . . . if y'know?

I know Wes wants to re-sign (he's a starter on a playoff team and has the freedom to take basically any shot that he likes) and I assume the team wants him to as well. It's hard to tell what Portland's threshold is w/r/t what they're willing to offer in free agency, but you would think a number between 10 and 12 million a year for four years would satisfy both parties. Obviously if another team has Wes as a FA target and drops a huge contact on his lap, that metric changes.

I think you could say the same about Afflalo, though you assume it can't be Afflalo AND Matthews. Some, Amin Elhassan at ESPN for one, has opined that Afflalo probably gets a few million less per year on the open market than Matthews, but again, good luck predicting what teams are going to do in free agency, especially with the specter of the cap going up precipitously in 2016.

(Best case scenario would probably be Matthews re-signing and Afflalo waiting to become a free agent until 2016, as he has the option of doing, though it's hard to tell were Afflalo is w/r/t that decision)

And while I suppose anything is possible, the it seems like it's probably either one or the other, but not both. It could be done (or at least I'm pretty sure it could) but that probably pushes Portland well into the luxury tax.

Damn, this is the response of the decade.

Casey, what road game usually attracts the biggest number of Blazer fans? Seems like DC must be near the top.

Curious as to why you say that.

Uh, I don't remember exactly where everyone sits, but plane pairings off the top of my head: Nic and Joel, Kaman and Meyers, Dame and CJ, Wes, Arron and Dorell sit at the table at the front of the cabin.

Players sit in the front, we sit in the back, so I really have no idea what goes on up there. We're not to bother the players on the plane.

Ahh i see. That does make sense that the players would want their own space. Also seems like it's pretty logical that the euro's sit together and the mentor and mentee pairing up. Thank you very much.

You smell like a skunk.

Half of Oregon smells like a skunk but it has nothing to do with hygiene

He must have you on ignore?

That was nice of Casey, I really enjoyed reading this thread.

Thanks.

You haven't been to north east Portland recently and met the hipsters there.

Most of the Hipsters are in S.E. Belmont/ Laurelhurst area. Then there are those in N.W. 23rd types. Downtown Hipsters have a smell all their own....

I'm not sure what the iPhone game of choice is these days. I know a couple guys were playing Trivia Crack, but I dominated them so thoroughly that they might have upped and quit all together.

What's your worst category, and what's the percentage?

For me, it's art, 67%
