Portland Trail Blazers general manager Joe Cronin signed a multiyear contract extension Monday. Terms were not disclosed.
“Joe has demonstrated leadership and vision during his time as General Manager, and I’m excited to see him continue building the foundation for a long-term, winning team,” said Jody Allen, chair of the Trail Blazers. “We are all thrilled with the team’s forward momentum and excited for the future of Trail Blazers basketball.”
Cronin is finishing up the third season of a four-year deal he signed when he was hired on May 9, 2022.
The Trail Blazers entered Monday with a 35-44 record, a 14-win improvement over last season (21-61) with three games remaining.
Portland is 22-16 since Jan. 19 but will miss the playoffs for a fourth consecutive season.
Cronin has been with the Trail Blazers since starting out as an intern in 2006. He ascended to director of player personnel in 2014 and to assistant general manager in 2021.
