Portland Trail Blazers extend contract of GM Joe Cronin

PORTLAND, Ore. (Portland Tribune) — Portland Trail Blazers general manager Joe Cronin has reached a contract extension with the organization, announced Monday by the team. The amount of years and salary were not disclosed.

Cronin has held the position since Dec. 3, 2021, after previous GM Neil Olshey was fired and Cronin was named as interim. Cronin was officially given the position on May 10, 2022.

Cronin has been at the forefront of reshaping the entire Blazers’ roster, which included the trade of star Damian Lillard back on Sept. 27, 2023.

That trade and related moves landed Portland players in Deandre Ayton, Deni Avdija and Toumani Camara, all of whom have become staples of the rotation.

Cronin has led the Blazers in the last three drafts as well, which have brought in Shaedon Sharpe, Scoot Henderson, Donovan Clingan, Jabari Walker and Kris Murray to name a few.
